Yes, I also have seen this sometimes when special kinds of alphachannel (flattened/premultiplied/postmultiplied) were used in the PNG to import.
Nevertheless the following 'standard' import script works for me nearly always in LC 6/7/8/9: on mouseUp set the paintcompression to RLE if there is no img "import" then create img "import" -- handles alphachannel clever, even creates sometimes its own: set the resizequality of img "import" to "best" put "Select a file to import" into prmpt answer file prmpt titled prmpt -- avoid mac 10.12 bug if it is empty then exit mouseUp put URL("binfile:" & it) into img "import" -- don't "hide" my click region with transpareny: set topleft of img "import" to the bottomleft of me end mouseUp > Paul D. wrote: > I was trying to import (as a control) a transparent PNG (i.e. the > "white" parts allow whatever is underneath to show through) and instead > of transparancy, I get the slashed background lines transparent PNG are > often displayed with.
