Use a white-background movie. Place the 'background' as a colored shape
in a channel higher than the text sprites and set it to darken. Plan on
using text darker than the background.
I don't know if that fixes everything, but it's a start. This only works
with colored shapes. Bitmaps of any bitdepth obscure and interfere with
making the selection.
