hey, im having a problem with importing pics to flash,  
if i draw a circle in photoshop for example, it imports into flash through quicktime, or if u save it as a jpeg, but it always has a white box around it, is ther a particular format u should dave in when using pics in flash?

I think that’s because you’re importing the PSD’s instead of an image format, but I could be wrong.

If your file, in Photoshop, has a transparent background then you should save the images as GIF or PNG’s. I would recommend using PNG’s but either way will work.
