When I try to start my program written in HW8 with HW9 the Loadbrush =true, it fails?
Hollywood complains png pictures not have an Alphachannel picture.
But it works fine before in Hollywood 8.
Why is that?
More:
I paint this brush picture in ppaint and make an Alphachannel in here..
New bug in HW9?

This one interests me since I have some porgrams that rely on loading alphachannels.
Can you send Andreas an example brush so he can try it himself to see if he can find out what is wrong there.

You'll have to use LoadTransparency instead of LoadAlpha for palette based PNGs now, it was kind of a bug in HW8 regarding this
PPaint saves 8bit palette based PNGs and they don't have alpha channel.

Yes, that's not a bug. It's Hollywood 8 that allowed you to load an alpha channel that wasn't really one. Use "LoadTransparency" instead.
