hey all… i cut an image of a car out in Fireworks MX and kinda blended the edges into the background so its not too jagged, then i applied a layer underneath this with the same hexcode colour as my background in Flash MX… imported this image into my flash presentation and it looks fine to me… when i asked some friends what they thought of the basic layout they said they didnt like the pink box around the car… after some investigation i realised that it was this background… if i take out the background and have it with a transparent background, rather than blend to the red im using, it blends to a white so thats no good ive tried flattening and removing via the magic wand but that just blends it to a pink… ive tried all sorts and i cant work out why its displaying pink on some monitors (its the correct colour on my CRT and my dads LCD…) any ideas? the version its getting pink on is a jpg… does that have anything to do with it? i havent actually tried nontransparent gif i must admit… (for original jpg see attached file) ![](http://www.freewebs.com/pweb/Toyota%20Celica%20Storm.png)(\< cut out png) oh and the hexcode for the red bg is #DB334C thanks for any help u mite be able to giv/wisdom to share!! Prophet. PS i know its only a small image but im on 800X600 so it looked bigger than i thought!! lol anyway, ive got a nother, bigger image (thats different) which I intend to do the same with but if its just going to “pink out” the red then why waste a day doing the pre-image-animation and cutting out??
