I’m having a weird problem. I’ve cut up some gifs in photoshop to use in Flash. After I import them, they look fine in the library but on the stage and especially if I preview, parts of the gifs are being cut off.

Originally I had some squares (no antialiasing) that I brought in, but Flash would anti-alias them and the output would be just the right and top sides (a right angle), not the full square. I tried this again with a bit of aliased text (verdana 10pt) that I made into a button, and same thing. Looks like it was cropped on the bottom.

Anyone know whats going on or how I can fix this?

What ever image you create in photoshop, make sure you give them a lil bit of a transparent margin so that when you bring it into flash, flash will cut off pieces of the transparent margin instead.
