An issue with transparency

[Skyla Doragono]

the specific answer i found btw suggests loading the files in adobe director, and setting the external bitmap editor to adobe fireworks, which apparently DOES intercept the alpha channel, and then one by one launching the external editor. (and ofc, since extraction is the goal, saving them) i can't really test this, however...

You don't have Fireworks? I do, but I don't have Director (for some stupid reason it wasn't part of CS3s Master Suite).

I could probably help you get a copy of Fireworks, but I wouldn't be able to until the weekend.
