Gray box surrounds new character animation

[Erin]

 Ã, I made a new character in Paint. Ã, When I imported them into the sprite manager using the tiled sprite import, they still have colored boxes behind them. Ã, When they walk around the game, they are essentially bodies within squares. Ã, How do I make the outside box transparent? Ã, I've noticed that most sprites have magenta behind them, my characters have white. Ã,  Ã,

post a sprite, and why did you use tiled sprite import?

Go to the sprite manager.  Right mouse-button > Import sprite (or Import over this sprite to replace old images).  Make sure that you have 'transparent colour' set to the top-left (or another corner if that is used by the actual character part).  Be sure that your outside colour isn't used anywhere in the same picture or else that will be transparent too.  Re-import each frame and each one should be magenta around the edge only.  If not, open up that frame and just change the colour that goes pink to something similar in RGB - just increase the red by one for example.

Thanks, I got it figured out.  I was clicking on the border rather than the complete background color when I selected the transparent background.  I just colored everything magenta, and the problem was solved.
