Hello, i’ve been uploading some of my art to the Collabs lately and i think its a great resource and has lots of potential.

I want to upload some special effects i have, for example this fire sequence

http://www.filedropper.com/fireup

Its a 95 frames animation with an alpha channel, that’s why it uses the png format, for transparency…but in the collabs i can’t upload .zip files or a sequence…just individual files.

Another question i have, i was wondering, how do flash developers use animated sequences like this one with transparency in their games, they use .png? or they use .gif , and if they use .gif, should the animation have a green background color so that it can be removed later…?

Can somebody explain me, thank you.

I haven’t done a ton of animation in flash, but I’m pretty sure they bring in the image file, and piece together the animation by hand in flash as a movie clip.

For your effect, you could just make one large sprite sheet and upload that. It won’t be animated, but it’d get the point across.

For adobe flash you can use GIF or a series of PNG files.

For some other development systems you can only use PNG files.

Thank you for your answers, so flash can use png files with an alpha channel as a sequence. i was worried about gifs because they don’t support transparency ,just a color key.
