to work with image transparencies and as of yet have not had success.
In regards to the image frame, I currently have no image frame set as
well but transparencies for gifs and pngs still default to the matte.
From what I gather, transparencies aren't currently supported/working
with imagevuex. Is this correct?
Sorry for the late reply Christopher -
This is a multi-faceted question. The reason transparent GIF/PNG files may not be working in Imagevue, might still be the frame, even if you have a frame width of 0px. WHY? Because we actually still render a background behind the image to control certain aspects(before image is loaded etc.), so it is there even though it doesn't actually frame the image. Now, did you try loading your PNG as a filemod (for a folder) instead? This would certainly answer the issue if the imagevue flash at all supports transparency for loaded PNG files.
The reason I have been skeptical to this, is because I tested this quite some time ago, and flash always rendered a square frame round the image. This may have changed with new flash releases though, so I am looking forward to check this out shortly. If PNG transparency is supported now, I will certainly add a fix so the frame doesn't effect this functionality. However, it will not work with frame enabled though ... I don't see how a transparent image would look nice with a frame anyway, even if we made i transparent in the middle ...
Edit -
Actually, come to think of it, there may be a "bitmap" script that is interfering with transparent images. We clone images with actionscript prior to display to give them an improved scaling effect. I will see if this may be some culprit also!
