Re: Transparencies in Flash 3

[John Croteau]

Hi David,


 The transparency in a gif is just one color of an image made

transparent. But an image with an alpha channel is actually 2 images,

the regular image and a second complete image for the alpha channel.

Normally, an alpha channel is a 2 color image only. How alpha channels

are handled with the PNG and other formats in Photoshop (and other

programs) and consequently when imported into Flash, I don't know. But

an image with an alpha channel is likely to be larger than one without,

with a size up to twice the size of an image without an alpha channel.
