Hi:

Has anyone had problems importing an SWF with alpha channel video into another fla project? When I do, the animation on the SWF looks horrible and the video and sounds does not play–it’s like it isn’t there.

What is the proper way of 1.) publishing an FLA with alpha video and 2.) importing it into a seperate FLA?

–Thanks, Chris
