Transparent PictureClip?

I'm using the picclip control to make a little animation of a person walking. The original picture i used was a gif and had transparent parts.
When i put it into the pic clip the transparent parts became white and now when it displays the graphic cell in the image box you have a big white border, how do you get around this?

gif files always have this problem. i suggest u to use the multimedia control and put a avi file in it. it works very fine.

Is there no other way than this...it's neccessary i use the picclip control or something similar to it. Playing an .avi file would not be possible.
