Thankyou I will have another go, did have a look but couldnt see how to do it. Got the alpha thing with pngs to work finally, it was coz I use corel photopaint and the mask is reversed so couldnt see the character.

Thanks that's interesting, but sounds a bit complicated, I wonder do you import a series of image files into Premier and that makes the movie? I gave up trying to get Poser to export a swf the quality versus file size was not worth it. Now I have gotten around the white outline problem with the animated gifs by making the background in poser similar to my flash movie and making that the transparent colour. Now I have a problem with the legs of my wolf leaving trails in the flash movie but that must be a different forum.

thanks I tried it as tif file and the same thing happened. Now I am trying to export as a swf but my computer keeps hanging, am trying to do it with more than 4 colours coz that looks crap but poser doesnt like it. Will keep at it.

thanks I tried exporting as png and the character was transparent and the background was solid ???? dont know what happened there.

thanks, but when you apply a pose to something and it becomes seriously deformed you cant un pose it can you? I know I learn the hard way but still it is frustrating.
