Problem with transparent gif .

Ok , Here's my story . I took a photo , there was a certain image in the photo I wanted to use , so I used the lasso tool along with the magic wand tool . I selected the whole area of only what I needed . I created a new document with transparent clicked . My cut out image was near close to perfect . No rough edges or anything of that matter .

So I go to save my image . I choose gif , I click transparent . I finish the whole deal by saving it . But something keeps happening that I cant figure out . When I import the gif to Flash , there is a white border around it . That is the problem at hand . So any help would be much appreciated . If your in the mood for a more personal response , please I.M. me on aim , s/n- shawneboy1200s . Or email me . [email]shawneboy1200s@aol.com[/email] . Because I may or may not be back to this forum anytime soon . But thank you for taking the time to read my set back .

more then likely, the "matte" setting is set to white

set it to "none" or the color of your background in Flash.

Thank you , that worked just perfect .

When I import stuff into Macromedia Flash, I save as PNG-24 with transparency. You lose no quality, and you can have as much multiple levels of translucency, just like a .PSD. Which will allow you to retain 24-bit color and have a really smooth edge to your picture.

Flash has the unique ability to compress PNG files as transparent JPGs. By far the best way to import graphics into Flash.

Hey thank you for that , I'm sure that will be very usefull knowledge .
