id be so appreciative of any input. i've been trying to take an image from photoshop 6 to flash 5, which seems to insist on having a full coloured block around the image itself.
i have tried to copy from magic wand, isolating all i want, having the canvas as transperant doesn't help either.
i'm trying to make my mum fly on a magic carpet (her 50th bday, showing her the retro love) and the big huge block that she isnt doesnt make for a realistic flying fun time.
any ideas? (im hoping its something blatently obvious im overlooking)
thanks guys |

I've just tried with Photoshop 7 to Flash MX and that seems to work. As far as I can find out it appears it should work in Flash 5 as well.
Are you just trying to copy and paste between the two apps? if so I don't think this will work.
Have you tried actually saving the image as a transparent gif?
If you want to avoid the halo of antialiased pixels you get on anything other than horizontal or vertical edges you might also like to try saving as a PNG which allow you to use a proper alpha channel. |

thanks for the info, you guys rock.
this is the first 'techie' forum ive ever signed up for so its nice to get so much feedback so quick!
i wasn't able to save the picture as a gif, so png it was, which solved my problem thus far.
fortunately this movie is just going to be an .exe in the end on a cd,(i have to send it to new zealand to be played) as opposed to on the web, but for future purposes thats good to know.
thanks alot you guys, you rock |

It may not matter to IE if the PNG is embedded in a Flash Movie |
