white space in pictures

[kythoon]

is there any way to get rid of the white background a of a picture. Right now, if i draw it on a screen with a background and the picture moves over a dark spot, you can see the white edges covering it up.

can u get rid of that?





i'm going to feel really retarded if this is simple or if it is posted already

use PicMerge in your Pic.Draw. White will be transparent.

i just tried it doesn't work no matter where i put it

...
Pic.Draw (backgroundPic, -backgroundX, -backgroundY, picCopy)
Pic.Draw (finalClassPic, finalClassPicX - backgroundX, finalClassPicY - backgroundY, picMerge)
...

i first draw background with picCopy, then the character with picMerge, doesn't work

for picMerge to work, it gets rid of true white (255,255,255) making it transparent. So say if you have a light grey in there, it wouldn't work. You might have to edit your pictures.

BTW, the easiest way to test for transparency is drawing over black background

your right, it wasn't true white, but it sure looked like it
