Hi All,

I have been flustered with trying to make the canvas of my interstate shield 
transparent.  I'm using Mapserver 3.6 and right now it displays the shield with 
the white square canvas background around it.  I would like for only the shield 
to appear on the map.  I'm only a novice at using fireworks, but I have been 
using it to make the canvas transparent, and I checked the color index of the 
transparency in the export preview and it reads. 

R:255 G:255 B:255 Hex:ffffff index:000 Websafe
Transparent

My symbol shapefile reads like this

# 15
Symbol
NAME 'Interstate'
Type PIXMAP
IMAGE "interstate-shield.gif"
TRANSPARENT 0
END

Am I not making the gif transparent properly in fireworks?  I've also tried 
"TRANSPARENT 000" but to no avail.  Hopefully I've given enough information of 
my problem to help solve the problem.  Any advice is welcome.

Thanks,
Max Clever
