Transparent Images in LC

[hh]

Yes, I also have seen this sometimes when special kinds of alphachannel
(flattened/premultiplied/postmultiplied) were used in the PNG to import.

Nevertheless the following 'standard' import script works for me nearly
always in LC 6/7/8/9:

on mouseUp
  set the paintcompression to RLE
  if there is no img "import" then create img "import"
  -- handles alphachannel clever, even creates sometimes its own:
  set the resizequality of img "import" to "best" 
  put "Select a file to import" into prmpt
  answer file prmpt titled prmpt -- avoid mac 10.12 bug
  if it is empty then exit mouseUp
  put URL("binfile:" & it) into img "import"
  -- don't "hide" my click region with transpareny:
  set topleft of img "import" to the bottomleft of me
end mouseUp
