Help, can anyone come up with a solution. I have included transparent images, for example text. I have used photoshop and saved this as a gif or even a png format tranparency. However I get when put in use in flash what looks like a different colour shade over the original design. Is this suppose to happen. The audience may well be using 16bit colour depth, so i must get this sorted, as it really ruins the design. Help its urgent. Trev ☹ ---

thanks for the link, but i cannot get it working. for example i have just plain text of white as a transparent image, so effectively it will just show the white text over the design. So I am using just one colour, do you have any more ideas and thanks for your reply
