| Hi - I've tried searching the forums- but am not finding what I want...
I want to use some inages as buttons, but they are silhouetted in photoshop.
If I save them as .jpg then the background loses its transparency and I get the
white box around my image. The only format that seems to respect this is .png
(?) not a format I'm really familiar with but it seems to work.
Being in the main part of the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" school of
thought I am more or less happy to carry on using this format - but I have a
feeling I may be overlooking something more obvious.
comments?
Thanks

PNG format is exactly the best "working" format to use with Flash. It
is non-destructive to pixel data and the larger file size means
nothing since it will be compressed to jpeg compression when you
compile the swf file.

| It helps to know also that, jpg does not support transparency. Gif and Png do.
