How do I remove the background of an image in Adobe Animate?

To remove the background of an image in Adobe Animate, you need to make the SWF file's background transparent when viewed in a web browser. Here's how:

1. Go to Publish Settings: Choose File > Publish Settings.
2. Select HTML: Ensure that HTML is selected in the left-hand menu.
3. Set Window Mode to Transparent: In the HTML tab, locate the Window Mode menu. Choose Transparent Windowless from the dropdown options. This setting will make the SWF file's background transparent in browsers that support it.
4. Publish: Click the Publish button to generate the necessary files, including the HTML that will display your Animate content with a transparent background.

This process tells the web browser to render the SWF content on top of the website's existing background, effectively making it appear as if the image has no background. Keep in mind that browser support for transparent windowless mode might vary.
