Actually all transparent gifs always have a color for the transparency
- that color is identified to be transparent (allows other background colors thru) but it is still there
- by default it is the 1st pixel in the gif unless identified by you in your image editor to be another color
What you are describing is usually the effect of using anti-aliasing in your images, so you have more than 1 color (similar to, but
not the same as, the transparent color) at the edges of the visible part of your image
| There was no background on the image when I made it, it is a transparent back
| ground so there should be no color whatsoever. You should not have to put a
| backgound on the image if you don't want to unless you want a drop shadow or
| otter glow or some other property that extends beyond the edges of the image.
|
| What is really strange is I have done this countless times sucessfully and
| all of a sudden this has been happening every time from images created in
| both PhotoShop AND Illustrator. That is why I suspect FP2003 eventhough it
| seems really unlikely.
|
| In my latest application I am using a gradient background and trying to
| create interactive buttons of diffrent sizes and shapes that will be placed
| randomly on the page. So, dealing with a background is much more complicated
| which is why a transparent background is ideal, if it would only work
| correctly.
|
| Thanks anyway. I guess I will post at the Adobe site to see what I can
| findout there.
