> I'm pretty sure the issue is LiveCode, not you. I thought so too. Cause, within Fireworks, visual effects such as shadowing are clean and jagged-less. But when LC applies graphic effects, that is when the imperfections arise. And that is also when I decided to contact the list, plus upgrade to 5

When you save a png you should get options about how many bits there are, and whether there is transparency. If you see an option to have either 32 bit, or 24 bit and transparency selected, then those should work perfectly in LiveCode. At least it does for me. Look too to see if there is a Save
