Greetings Guys ....

I hope it's ok posting this question here.


I need to add an animation to my website. But it's not transparent.


So, I opened up JASC Animation Shop v3.04- imported my animation. But
couldn't understand how to do it. I tried the help files - just my
luck ... the software says - hekp file not found.


So, I tried online search - even youtube. I can't find anything!


Can someone who knows JASC Animation Shop - please walk me
through the process of making a .gif animation transparent in
JASC Animation Shop.


I would appreciate this so much ... Thanks!

In AS3.04 there is a "Replace Color" function on the Animation menu. You
can use this to replace a specific color (plus controllable tolerance)
with transparent pixels.

Select:
Replace Color In: All Frames
Replace Old Color: click on the color in one of the anim frames
(and set the tolerance/matchmode if desired)
With: transparent opacity

If your gif has a common background color it can be done in one step,
although if the edges of the subject in the animation are anti-aliased
you might need to use tolerance to stop seeing a trace outline of the
old background color. You might also need to run the replacement several
times if the background is different colors. If the background uses
colors that are in the foreground object, you'd probably have to edit
the frames manually to recreate the transparent pixels.
