Use GIMP or Adobe Fireworks CS3, Paint.NET is garbage.

The part you want trans, click with the magic wand at 0% tolerance and press delete. Don't use the fillbucket.

Are you on a Mac or a Windows? Preview in mac shows up as Black when an image contains transparency, try it in game if you havent.

[colonial killer]

im on windows... usually on anything transparent it shows up checkered but this time its black...

i tried it in game and its still black, i also DL GIMP so how do you make it transparent in GIMP?

These guys must have never encountered this problem. In order to keep the transparencies, you have to save it as a .PNG.
