Webmaster Forum / Flash / General Flash Topics / July 2008remove area around content when importing
i have a png with a transparent background. when importing from fireworks into my flash cs3 library, the symbol now contains all the 'blank area' around the item i need. is there a way of removing this blank content easier/more effecient than breaking it apart and erasing the un-needed content? > i have a png with a transparent background. when importing from fireworks into > my flash cs3 library, the symbol now contains all the 'blank area' around the > item i need. > > is there a way of removing this blank content easier/more effecient than > breaking it apart and erasing the un-needed content? Everything within computer is within rectangular boundaries. So regardless whether you make something transparent, it is still there, just not visible, but still there. Also make sure that you do not export stage but selection only so the rectangular shape will be limited to the size of the item. Not larger than that...
