That png image worked for me. I just renamed the file and plugged it into droids colorkey tutorial code for a test. Worked without any modification.. and I removed the "image.set_colorkey((255,0,255))" line as well from it since not using it, and still ran transparent.. Don't know. seems like a good image to me.

I'm using Photoshop LE, and can make transparent GIFs, but thetransparency doesn't show up when I make a PNG the same way: deletingthe background, leaving the "nothing here" checkerboard pattern on thescreen. Attached is an example made this way that's still nottransparent. Any idea what's wrong?Attachment: spikes2.png (11.86KB) _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
