bitmaps in flash
this isn't the first time ive used bitmaps in flash hiwever it is sinec upgrading to flash 8
i'm having problems
my photoshop file has a shape with no background at all - i've selected, cut and pasted it and it's coming pasting into flash with a white background.
so i break it apart and go on trace bitmap - then it ends up absolutly nothing like i wanted it as vectorised.
grrr
it's gotto be an easy one i'm sure

Ya PNG seems to be the way to go, you get your transparency and your clean image.
Have you messed around with all of the tolerance levels in the trace bitmap?

yeah i had a play around with the torelence levels and got it right but it must have used a lot of memory because everything slowed right down until i got it looking right and converted it to a graphic.
i've never used PNG before i will have to try it out. any thing i should know about when using them? ie 2nd, 3rd generations jpegs loose quality.

they're a lossless format, but you can control the quality of them when brought in. However they can cause slowdowns if used improperly because they give such good quality transparency.

I have used trasparant PNG images several times in flash without any background problems in IE. So it must be possible without any proplems.

not in flash, external to flash unchained, in html documents it's a well documented problem that ie can't render 24-bit transparency
