(SOLVED, God bless you, creatify.) Hi, programmers and designers - hopefully this is easy. I’ve got an application which gives the viewer the capability to create a design then further customize it with their own art, i.e. a logo, which can be a .jpg, .gif or .png. I may narrow the file options down, but right now I’m finding when one prints this design (I have a “print” button as well) any transparent .png file that’s in this design prints out with a white “box” that is obviously the canvas on which said .png was designed. Any way to get rid of this in Flash, or is this a Photoshop issue?
