I am working with Dir.MX2004. I have imported a quicktime movie with an alpha
channel, but I am unable to get the alpha channel to show up. I've searched
some previous posts but they don't answer the problem.

Please help. I'm sure someone out there can explain.

Thanks!!!

You can't use an alpha channel with QuickTime video in Director. You
could try running it non-DTS and use a sprite ink setting, or use a
1-bit mask with the member.

If you want to use alphachannel, you can convert the video to Flashvideo with on2VP6 Codec. I dont know if that works on
a Mac, on WIndows it works fine.

It's my undersatnding that a 1-bit mask can only be used with a bitmap. If I have a video with many frames, do i have to create a mask for each?

thanks for the reply.
