Not entirely sure how this question relates to this list,
but I'll assume that it's a swfc question, in which case the answer
is this:

There's already a ".png" command in the swfc fileformat specification,
which is, however, not implemented yet, because so far nobody asked
for it. :)
But yes, once it's implemented, it will also support transparency.
