Problem publishing a Transparent Gif / Png image with Flash 8.

[b2bwild]

Hi everyone :).
I quite new in Flash 8 professional edition and I'm trying to Publish a Gif / Png image.
I've selected the "Transparent" option in the Publish Settings for Gif but when I publish it, I see a solid white background and a slight grey background in PNG image. I want to put that gif image in my HTML page. I'm completely stuck.
Please help me publishing a GIF / PNG image with transparent background.

Thank you in advance :).

P.S. The steps I used to publish a gif / png image in Flash 8 are;
1- Just typed some teXt like Hello! World in Flash 8.
2- I resized the white background to match the size of the teXt I typed.
3- Saved the file (i.e. test.fla)
4- Clicked on Publish Settings and checked the GIF and PNG checkboxes.
5- In GIF tab (on Publish Settings dialog box) I selected "Transparent" from the Transparent selection box.

What am I missing?

Are you viewing this problem in a browser? If so, which one? IE6 does not work well with PNG.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I am using Internet eXplorer 6.0.2900 on Windows Xp Professional edition (Service pack 2 installed).
If PNG has problems by default on browser, then how can I publish a "Transparent" Gif??
