Weeee – I figured it out now.
Here is what I did to make it work:

Goal: To make a color keyed video and implement it with the alphachannel on a web page.

1. Key the video and do not render it!
2. Export directly to FLV from QT conversion. In the “Options” choose the On2 VP6 encoding and check “encode alpha channel”
3. Make a new layer in a html-page in Dreamweaver or similar program.
4. Place the FLV-file ( you just created by exporting from FCP ) on the new layer.

Now to something important!

5. Edit the html-code where the FLV-file is inserted. Write
param name=’wmode’ value=’transparent’ before the object end-tag.
6. Edit the javascript that produced by Dreamweaver looks something like this
<script type=”text/javascript”>
AC_FL_RunContent( ‘codebase’,’https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0′,’width’,’477′,’height’,’268′,’id’,’FLVPlayer’,’src’,’FLVPlayer_Progressive’,’flashvars’,’&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_1&streamName=Blood_Greenscreen2/sunday&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false’,’quality’,’high’,’scale’,’noscale’,’name’,’FLVPlayer’,’salign’,’lt’,’pluginspage’,’https://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash’,’movie’,’FLVPlayer_Progressive’,’wmode’,’transparent’ );

Note the ‘wmode’,’tranparent’ part

Publish your site and you’re good to go 🙂

Thank you all for your inputs. It was all necessary to make this work.

Ok – I have tried to export directly to QT ( not qt conversion )
Didn’t make a difference. I beleive that I have narrowed down the problem to be in the export from FCP.

Is it not true that I have to modify the alpha type from “none” to “black” in order to get the black area transparent after export?

I am exporting my movie as QT with the Animation codec and Color:millions+

I wonder if I need to do something in FCP before I export? Do I need to specify an Alpha channel on a separate V-track?

Yes – I have tried to export as QT, Animation, Color: millions+
I wonder if I need to do something inside FCP before exporting?
