Good that and spotted the right areas — the problem usually isn’t Flash but how the image was cut and exported. If you extracted artwork on a white background, semi‑transparent edge pixels can carry white into the alpha. Flash/Animate stores bitmap pixels premultiplied by their alpha, so that leftover RGB looks like a white halo on non‑white backgrounds. (airsdk.dev)

Photoshop quick fixes to try before importing

  • Make sure the Background layer is unlocked and actually removed (you should see the checkerboard).
  • For soft edges (hair, shadows) use Select and Mask → Decontaminate Colors when refining a mask; for simple halos try Layer → Matting → Remove White Matte or Layer → Matting → Defringe (1–2 px). These operations remove baked‑in matte color that causes the white rim.
  • Export with a true alpha and avoid adding a matte color on export (use the Save for Web / Export dialog and set the matte option to None or ensure multilevel alpha is preserved). Also confirm the file is in RGB/8‑bit so PNG export supports the alpha. ()

Flash/Animate checklist and tests

  • Import the cleaned image to the Library at the size you need (scaling inside Flash can introduce artifacts; enable smoothing when you must scale).
  • If the SWF still shows a white page background in a browser, publish it with a transparent window mode (or set the HTML embed param wmode=transparent) so the page shows through; note some performance/hardware acceleration settings can affect this. Test by placing a colored rectangle behind the bitmap on the Stage to confirm true transparency in the published output. ()

If a GIF “worked” for , that’s because GIF gives only binary transparency (edges may look jagged). For smooth, fringe‑free edges use the alpha workflow above and reimport.

did you set the SWF background properties to transparent?

Also make sure you are exporting a .PNG with transparency on from Photoshop. Double check the compression is "Lossless (PNG/GIF)" of the file in the Flash library properties.
