I can verify that just the png compression programs do not bring nearly enough compression and that the approach that worked for me is what was suggested .. to convert to jpg with an alpha mask. I have code I wrote that does this in java using the javax.imageio and javax.media libraries. If you want to see that let me know. (I think you can get my email address from my post.) It's easier to do with imageMagick but our network guy wouldn't let us use that so I had to figure out how to do it in java. I think in imagemagick it's something like this: convert my.png -channel RGB -fx "u*a" my.jpg convert my.png -channel matte -negate -separate -depth 8 -type Grayscale myMask.png then in swfmill you'd use: <clip id="myId" import="my.jpg" mask="myMask.png"/> Also, check the archives on Apr 24 and May 5 2008 there are several posts on this topic. http://osflash.org/pipermail/swfmill_osflash.org/ Lynn This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
