I may have been misleading saying transparent floor, as its not a glass type floor that I want. What I want is a completely invisible floor, which still receives shadows from my character walking across it. Does that make sense?
The closest example i can find is this:
Only instead of a white background there is going to be an image filling the whole screen.

The trouble is now the shadows on the 'floor' are black and fully opaque. I need them to be semi transparent grey. How can I do this?
Sorry for asking (what I assume are) stupidly simple questions!
Edit: Done, sorry!
