Help on Transparent items

If you use 255, 0, 255 (magic pink) it will automatically be transparent - assuming
1. it's a BMP and not a TGA 
2. it's a piece that recognizes transparency (some do not, like backgrounds for example).

k thanks

You have to make sure that the "Transparency" box is checked as well.

After I click the transperency Box do the parts automatically become transparent, or do i have to do anything else?

1. it's a BMP and not a TGA

I use Targas in SS/WB with Magic Pink in them all the time...never has given me any problems...

I was making a dx object and the magic pink worked but the edges had traces of pink is there any other color I can use?
Also i made a ufo in photoshop and it had a semi-transparent layer but i flattened it and then save-as'ed it as a bitmap. When I turned it into a dx object the priviosly transparent layer was still transparent even though i had flattened it and there was a mess of pink (only a little) and everything was just messy.
Could someone please help me

please

I said the magic word...

finally

ok I fixed the "Mess" but It still has pink around the edges
please help me

Thos pink bits around the edge come from merging the semitransparent bits in your drawing with the magic pink color when you flatten the image to save it as a bitmap. Those semi-transparent bits usually come from antialiasing or some other effect like feathering or some blur effects. ONLY pure (255,000,255 or #FF00FF) magic pink will be transparent in WB, so the pink in those merged pixels will show up.

Hippy from Skinplant posted a good tutorial for dealing with this issue here: https://www.wincustomize.com/msgboard.asp?BID=WCS&id=199841#203824
