Loading of transparent PNG
I have 2 UILoaders that sit on top of each other. One loads a
SWF that the user needs to be able to interact with. The other
loads a PNG with transparency that gives the SWF a border. The
border edges are not rectangular, and, as such, the PNG needs to
sit on top of the SWF - thus the transparency. What happens,
though, when I load the PNG on top of the SWF, is the SWF does not
recognize mouse input. I was able to do this in AS2 no problem, the
player recognized the transparency and ignored the image. Is there
something I am missing?
Found it on google
apparantly if you set the mouseEnabled property to false, it
will work like it should.
IE
contentLoader.mouseEnabled = false;
contentLoader.mouseChildren = false;

How can I convert an .eps created in AI to a transparent .png
The logo I created in AI is beautiful. I would like an equally beautiful transparent .png for use on my website. Is this possible?
Reddafodil,
Remember to tick Transparency.
I would like an equally beautiful transparent .png
Then you should use (at least) PNG24, and certainly not GIF which only has a very limited number of colours; PNG24 has many more than PNG8. -
Removing background shadow on transparent PNG image without losing shading on the object?
I have a pillow bevel applied to a paint splatter brush image, and I'm having trouble with the shadows. I want to save this splatter as a transparent PNG. The problem is that a drop shadow effect is showing up when I save it this way. I think it's a "shading" setting rather than a true drop shadow, as there is no drop shadow set in the layer styles. The shadow does not appear when a white background is applied. It only shows when the background is transparent. I've tried reducing the shading opacity in the bevel dialogue, and this does get rid of the drop shadow....the problem is that it also removes the shading from the paint splatter, making the image look flat instead of raised. Can anyone help? Thanks!
Good point Curt. First time poster, so I wasn't sure how to include images in my original post. Here they are:
Above is the image saved WITH transparency. Obviously the shadows all around the blue make this unusable.
Here is the exact same image...the only difference is that I saved it with a white background layer behind it in photoshop. As you can see, the shadow artifacts are gone, yet the splatter still maintains its correct shading to keep the raised effect.
Both of these images are saved as png. Any suggestions? -
Strange lines appear around transparent PNG's when document PDF'ed
Hi
I have inserted some transparent PNG images into my Pages document, and they look fine on my screen, and they also look fine when I export to PDF and view in Preview.
However, if I view the PDF in Acrobat (or send it to a Non-Mac user and they view it in Acrobat), there are thin lines around many of the PNG images, which make them look ugly and sloppy, and very un-Mac-Like! Any ideas why these lines are appearing and how to prevent them?Hi logree
Welcome to the forum.
My guess is that it is showing just the edge of the masked background used to hide the alpha channel background of the .png.
This happens I think, because the postscript mask may be centred on the outside rows of pixels in Acrobat, with half the pixels still being revealed.
You can try masking in Pages' instead:
+Menu > Format > Instant Alpha+
or try a Photoshop file with transparent background, to see if that eliminates the problem.

Export to PDF causes fringing around transparent PNGs only in Acrobat
If I export to PDF from Keynote '09 using the "Best" setting, I'm getting black fringing around solid elements in a transparent PNG that was placed in the original keynote doc. This fringing does not occur when the PDF is viewed in Preview. Any suggestions on how to remove the fringing?
Example is here: http://i.imgur.com/3QXGf.jpg
Thanks in advance for the help.Perhaps my explanation of why this is a problem wasn't clear. The type of PDF links that Pages creates are, quite reasonably, set to highlight when clicked (there are a variety of options in PDF for the visual action of a clicked link; highlight is best for user feedback. In an ideal world, when the user clicks a link in a PDF, you want the a highlight box to appear over the text of the link - exactly over it, not too large, not too small.
Because Pages creates two links for each internal hyperlink, but the user will click only one of them in the PDF (whether in Preview or Acrobat), the highlight is almost guaranteed to be wrong for every click. If the user clicks the top link, only the top two-thirds of the text will highlight, and if the user clicks the bottom link, there will be a weird highlight either on the bottom third of the text or underneath it. It's inconsistent, but in most cases, it's wrong.
Obviously, this is only cosmetic, but it's the kind of mistake that hurts usability and detracts from the user experience, and as far as I can tell, there's absolutely no reason for it, making it a bug.

Loading a single png - showing parts of it
Hello,
I was wondering, is it possible to load a single png image but display specific parts of it? For example consider the following "image" :
____ _____ _____ _____ <- pink line
I want to load it and then display on demand A, B or C. Something like a primitive font interpreter-loader.
Any ideas?
Tnx,
Tom.Argggg! Where are the gaps in my "image"? .....

I have found a patch script that suppose to help but NOTHING!
Has anybody ever come across this problem, and how did you
get the images of work?
patch script....

You will need a fix for IE6 and below, but apart from that
give it a go,
its much better than gifs.

Bug when saving transparent png
I just saved a few pngs with transparent backgrounds and somehow the icons for those new images are being merged or overlaid with previously saved jpgs in my photo stream. When I open them, I see the picture I expect so there's no damage occurring, just funky icons. When I viewed the same images from the photo stream on my iPhone 4 and AppleTV2, the same behavior occurred with those transparent png files as well.
Hi Ignacio,
Well I sort of owe you guys an apology as it appears to be an iPad/iOS issue actually. Apparently I've never tried sending a transparent png to either my iPhone or iPad until learning/using Photoshop Touch (which I'm really enjoying btw).
But to answer your questions anyway, I was opening them on my iPad/iPhone in the Photos app and on my AppleTV in the Photostream there.
I made a quick transparent png from my Photoshop CS3 as well as downloading one from a Google search, all which had the same overlapping results.
I grabbed a screen shot for you, and blurred out the icons of images I think you'd rather not see ;-). Weird thing though too, which also points to this being an Apple issue, is that by accident, my first image, I saved as a png but with the background layer unlocked (being layer zero) and when I dragged it into this email, it overlaid the picture over the body of the email so that the black areas where transparent. So I dragged it out, resaved as a jpg but now I can't repeat the problem with the png, as I was going to create a screen shot of that for you as well. Either way, the icons on my desktop behave as normal and the images all open as normal. They all just get goofed up when displaying them in iOS as icons before actually opening the pictures.
So in this capture, there are six images with overlapping icons where the intended transparent png is on top of some random image pulled from the photostream.
Thanks again,
Eric -
How do I paste transparent png's
If I copy a transparent PNG image from any web browser on a mac, I can paste said image into illustrator without it losing its transparency, while trying the same on my PC results in the transparent areas of the image turning black... How does one avoid this?
(running illustrator CC 2014)Are forum users usually this bitter? I really don't understand how using this workflow would be stupid, as you so eloquently put it. You don't know what I'm working on nor how, and it does surprise me that you don't see how it could be time saving... But I don't really mean to discuss process quality or speeds.
Anyone else? If I can do it on a mac, I should be able to do it on a pc as well! -
How to fix black borders around transparent PNG files?
Hello,
Recently, iMovie has started putting black borders around transparent PNGs. How can I fix this?

Any way to fix the alpha transparency when importing PNG files to iMovie 09?
I just know the two options - wrong (8bit) png or that plugin, which in an older version destroyed transparency..
what also make transparent-to-black is, when you 'manipulate' the imported png, esp. adding a *KenBurns Effect* - that kills transparency instantly.
for test purposes:
• create a new project
• create a new png with some traansparency
• add new png to new project - same result?
and just to avoid EVERY problem: your sys preferences/Monitor is set to 'million colors'? -

Transparency not working on smartshape button filled with transparent (PNG) image.
I'm using Captivate 8 and have had no problems so far importing PNG images with transparent backgrounds.....that is until I try and make a smartshape button and import a transparent PNG image as the background.
It displays fine on screen, but whenever I preview it or publish, the white background of the image/button displays. Is this a known Captivate 8 limitation?
Sorry if this is a repeated question....I've tried trawling through the forums and all I can see is to try different file formats for the images, such as GIF or BMP, which I've tried and nothing works.
Any advice or suggestions?If it is a button, what is inserted for Rollover and Down state? I just recreated a shape button, with three different images for the states. All are in one PS-file as layers which I imported into Captivate. I kept Stretched checked in this case, because I know there is sometimes a slight change in size between states. Here are screenshots of Up, Rollover and Down state. The stroke was set to 0 for the shape, but to prevent all color contamination I also set stroke to the color of the background (light grey). In the first (Up) image you can clearly see where the stroke is due to truncation of the Question mark.
Seems only possibility is in the creation of the PNG's? What was your work flow? -

I need to generate a lightning effect and then export the frames to several PNG images.
I figured out how to do the lightning and how to export transparent PNGs, but I can't get rid of the lightning solid background (which is balck in my case).
