Re: FLASH: will flash preserve imported gif's transparencysettings??

[Matt Coyne]

alternatively...


create a PNG file with a transparent background. Flash recognises the 

transparency.


If you use Photoshop you can use either 'Save for Web' and choose PNG 

as the file format, or select 'Export Transparent Image' from the 

'Help' menu for a Wizard.


enjoy...
