Transparency problem with animated gif within AJAX overlay

[Ruth_Wa...@adobeforums.com]

Hello all,

I have designed and animated a loading spinner in Photoshop CS3, which needs to sit within an Ajax overlay, with transparency set to 75.

I tried exporting the spinner as an animated gif with a transparent background (using Save for Web), but it gave the animation a pixelated outside edge. Does anybody know how to remedy this?

As the Ajax overlay is semi-transparent, I tried exporting the animated gif with a black background and transparency set to 75%. I ticked the transparency box in the export window, but once it is loading in the Ajax it doesn't seem to be transparent (see here: <http://www.chrisgartside.co.uk/flash/Screenshot.jpg)>

Any help is very much appreciated.
Best wishes,

ruth.

I forgot to mention that the Ajax pop-up is fired up from a Flash gaming applet.

Thanks very much in advance.
