Tried it, but didn't work

Anyways, I solved it! And this seemed to be the trick:

I opened the anigifs in IR7. The transparency checkbox was checked.
Unchecked the checkbox. This is the part where I saved them day the before yesterday, which leaved the transparency on, causing troubles in the .EXE I needed the gifs for, BUT:
In the Optimization tab, I changed GIF into JPG (-->no transparency).
And then changed it back to GIF again, which leaved the transparency checkbox unchecked.
saved optimized.
reopened to see that transparency had been gone: problem solved :scatter:

But it's still a strange thing that you can save transparency in images that have their canvas 100% filled...

goodbye for now

Thanx, but I believe you can't save animated gifs in Photoshop, can you?

open it in photoshop, not image ready, save for web, then uncheck your transparency box.

hope this helps,,

Image ready is a pain for adding transparency to gifs. You have to select the colours you want to be transparent and then cut it out of the image before saving it.

It does not have an option like fireworks where you can just open an image and use the colour picker to add a transpaent colour to a gif.

Adobe really need to sort this out, is the only thing Fireworks is better at than Imageready.
