Transparent Background

I am the animation below in Cool 3d. I when I made it, the background was black. Then when I saved it as gif i made it transparent. But As you can see it has black crusty edges on the aniamtion. Why does this happen? How do I remove it? I use this animation on diffrent types of websites and I can't go around making diffrent background color for diffrent websites. Help

What resolution did you save it at?

Small images will have aliased edges just because there aren't many pixels to work with, in which case you might want to check the Dither box for a GIF. If it's already checked then try un-checking it.

This is the one with diether check

the size is 120x120 px

If you ever used ImageReady, there is an option for Matte that lets you choose the color of the crusty edges. Also you can even put it to NONE. Why is there no options in C3d that lets you choose no color as the crusty edges

You can export every frame in TGA-format with "transparent background" option and then merge it in Ulead Gif Animator. It works
