Boy, that felt good...considering that Edward is a bonafide guru and I am but lowly nothingness (in the realm of Vegas, anyway)
OK, here's the scoop on png's in swf files...as applies to SWISH. Yes, text is easily supported in an swf file. BUT....so are png objects! (photos, logos,etc) After burning about 4 hours (yes, I am exceptionally hard headed) I FINALLY figured out that 24 bit pngs "saved for the web" in Photoshop 7 DO NOT WORK! However, 8 bit pngs "saved for the web" in PS7 work like a champ. Just import into Swish, apply effects to your heart's content, export as an swf, import in to Vegas, drop on your timeline, and DA DA.
Keep in mind that this works in Swish...I don't know why it wouldn't work in Flash, but I could be wrong.
At any rate, I'm going to rephrase my topic heading to "Edward, you're misinformed, etc"....that's primarily cause Edward lives a short 90 minute drive from me (45 minutes at 120 mph) and he knows where I live.
