You can find plenty of documentation on the .png (peeng) format online via a search engine. The homesite is [url=http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/]here[/url], and will explain the advantages of .png over gif and over jpg. If you asked me, I think it's true sometimes, and other times not. Using the save for web feature in photoshop will sometimes show gif as a smaller file size. png really becomes usefull when you need that 8-bit transparency -- director supports it fine I believe. Also there's the fact that png can hold more colors that are suppost to exist for most web graphics -- kind of a different issue. If you're looking to use a png like a gif with an indexed number of colors and gif-type transparency that's fine too. There' snot a lot to say about it. If I wanted to know if png worked better than a gif in director I'd import one and try it. Like i said, sometimes the way .gif organizes the colors makes for a smaller file than .png because of color depth, columns and rows, the dimensions, et cetera...
