Since the primary question has already been answered, I'll leave it at that, but I will mention that it is really not that wise to be using gif's too often anymore as recently the company that owns the GIF compression algorithm has started to assert its rights. If all you want is an image with transparency (or you don't take advantage of the animation capability) then I suggest you look at the PNG format, which GD does support. PNG is very similar to GIF, but it uses a different compression algorithm and can't be animated (yet, I hear rumors that they are working on that...) Well, there's my advice, take it or leave it, just be careful with those gifs, I doubt anyone here can conveniently afford a legal battle. Update: Oh yeah, several other file types also use the same compression algorithm, there was a discussion about this not too long ago... anyone that knows where it was feel free to post it as a reply or /msg me and i'll update this post again... My code doesn't have bugs, it just develops random features. Flame ~ Lead Programmer: GMS | GMS
