The index of your transparent color must be index zero. At least that was

true for Flash 3. A little undocumented bug/feature, I guess. While the

GIF89a format allows for any palette index to be set to transparent, Flash

will assume it is index zero (the first color in the palette, often either

black or white depending on the platform the image was created under). I

haven't used Flash 4 much yet, so I don't know if it suffers from the same

*bug*.
