I did'nt really explain myself enough Jack. I dont want to use video post. Eg. I have a bitmap of the stars at night. I have four small animations of space ships which don't move but you can see the thrusters burning (animating). I want to overlay the space ships onto the BMP and then move them via some program code. This effect will give me the availability to randomly place the animations on the BMP. The problem is that the ships background is black, I want it to be transparent so that the ships and the BMP look part of one animation. I also want to randomly change the BMP to different star scenes. A bit like the After Dark screen savers for windows. Thanks Geoff
