RE: FLASH: Flash4 problem importing PNG's?

[Michael Werth]

i saved an earlier post (20000522)from someone on the list - i hope they

won't mind my reposting it:


I would bet you are running into a deficiency in the way Photoshop writes

PNG files. Would have thought they'd fixed it by now; I know the problem

exists in 5.0.... if I recall correctly, it writes the gamma information

out

incorrectly. Oddly, only some programs are troubled by this. I guess Flash

is one of them.


This is assuming you created the PNG in Photoshop. I would think that

doing

a batch open/resave with Fireworks would fix this issue--I had to do this

with a multimedia CD I did using a Quicktime based authoring program. QT

is

one of the programs that is fooled by those incorrectly generated PNG

files

and displays them darker. Fireworks corrects the problem.


This is just to the best of my recollection, since it's been a while since

I

had this problem.
