Re: Indexing wrong color in FW 3. >:( ~~ Now Fixed

The information really didn't help, but it did get me to go back and try again.

For some reason it was setting the black I indexed as transparent to white
even tho it was showing that color I wanted as transparent. The final solution
I stumbled upon was to export the image with the color it was "showing in FW3"
as transparent close that image and then reopen it and save it.

I reopened it so see if it was still "showing" the black as being 
transparent and it
was so I choose to save the image for no other reason than boredom and then
import into Flash 4. Voila the black as indexed as being transparent for 
the 1st
time and has cut my Flash file from 145K to 36K.

Further contemplation on this makes me wonder if it was indexing the wrong 
transparent
color when I imported into F4 because the image was still open in FW3 or 
that it
indeed had to be reopened and saved again in FW3 then imported into F4. Go 
figure,
well at least it works now.
