alright maybe i shouldve explained it better. Say, hypothetically, I have a black background and this is my image on the stage:
http://www.nintendo...photo_controller.jpg
what i want is for every area around it to be see through, and just the parts of the actual picture to be there. (thats not the pic im using btw)
on second thought, I could set it to the same propertys you do in the trace bitmap as a sprite, and then delete the white space. Ill try that unless someone has a better suggestion.
