PNG Alpha Transparencies

[Dimmy]

Okay... I am an idiot.


I have read quite a few postings here where someone said that in order to

import a raster image without its background, you would have to use PNG. I

tried a dozen times to create a simple image (a square) with a transparent

background in PhotoShop, and when I "Save A Copy..." as PNG, and I import

into Flash 3, I get a White Background surrounding the image...


I thought by saving as PNG and importing into Flash3, I can eliminate the

background. Is that not right? *scratches head* Could someone please shed

some light on this. Thanks a bunch... And if eliminating the background is

possible  simply by importing a PNG file (apart from <Break Apart> or <Trace

Bitmap> in Flash), could someone please give a "dummy-guide" step-by-step

method as to how to do so from PhotoShop to Flash 3. Thanks. *smile*
