GIF Background transparency in Flash CS3

[dcster2001]

I am attempting to publish a gif image created by Flash CS3 with a transparent background. In the Publish Settings for a .gif file, I enable the transparency setting to "transparent" which is supposed to make the background of the published gif file transparent.

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to create a gif file with its background transparent using the above method (which is the way the help file tells you to do it)-- it is always opaque, no matter which color is chosen for the fla background. Is this some kind of bug with Flash?:confused:

I think I've found an answer.

Rather than using the publishing bit, use "File > Export > Export as image" and tick transparent when it gives you some options.

Hi RichardG!

Thanks! It worked just like you said it would! Wonder why the publishing route doesn't work though? How does one report something to Adobe to get on the bug fix list?
