Shadow effect

i don’t know what you mean by gifs not having a real alpha channel… you can use transparency for gifs, but it’s only black/white. It’s not a problem because you’re not even using the transparency from the file… the whole point of what i was explaining is that you use that image AS a mask to apply transparency to the other logo… he wanted to know if it could be done in flash with minimal PS input which is why you might do it this way.
