Loading transparent gifs

[ice78991]

I am trying to load a gif with some transparency over another image

The image has been prepared in fireworks using index transparency

It has been given a linkage name of pic0 in the library

Yet the following code renders nothing on the stage

createEmptyMovieClip("clip",1);
clip.attachMovie("pic0","pic_mc",2);

I think you can only attach MovieClips with attachMovie, not GIFs.

You can do this instead:

import flash.display.BitmapData;
createEmptyMovieClip("clip", 1);
var bmp:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("pic0");
clip.attachBitmap(bmp, 2);
