Here it is.... lol. After all afternoon, I figured it out. What you need to do is... highlight area to be glittered with the magic wand, add noise, BUT before saving them, prior to animation,... Click on image, palette, set palette transparency, and option 3 which is "set the transparency value to palette entry. Do this to all 3 images prior to saving them, then add animation. Here's the finished stand alone image with glitter and NO black box. lol <img src=http://img458.imageshack.us/img458/9489/aaatestjo5.gif>
