Re: FLASH: How do you make Gifs with clear sections?

[Alexander]

My experience is that  transparent gifs don't work well in Flash


The way to get transparent background seems to be best acheived by using the PNG format as we did at

www.artattack.co.uk

where in the Picture room and other areas, we had to make extensive use of transparent images, or else the effect would not have worked.  If you have 

Photoshop or fireworks, they both handle PNG
