Hi John.


I want to make sure I'm clear about this: are you talking about the palette

in Flash? So let's say I'm exporting the Gif89a from PhotoShop.  I would

make sure the transparency color is black in Photoshop, since that's the

upper left color in the Flash palette? Or, alternatively, I could change

the values of the upper left color in Flash to whatever the transparency

color is, but I'd have to do this before import?


Thanks for clarifying this.
