clear background pic

Hey I take out the background for my logo but then when I paste the picture in flash 2004 it has a white background again. What can I do to make it clear?

If you saved it as an image file, and import it in flash, you will allways have some white border around it, since the file stores this as just plain white pixels.

If you want to remove them, you can either try to trace the bitmap, or cut it up to size with the lasso tool or mouse tool.

make it a .png or a .gif with a transparent background.

Or that, if you want to do it easily…

Do you have the logo in vector format? (.eps .ai or .psd)

If you do you can drag your logo from Photoshop or Illustrator onto the flash stage.

You will need Flash CS3 installed to do this.

I love the fact that with CS3 i can import illustrator files and convert layers to movieclips, and export for AS before I actually hit the import button. That saves more time that I would have thought.

I save it as a png, gif, and psd all with clear backgrounds but when I past them into flash they get the white background back.

What program are you using for your image?
