Making leader faces?

[Wolfcastle]

I'd like to replace some of the default leader faces (including advisor screen). I've got the .flc for the main pic done, but I'm having issues with the advisor screen. I make the circles for the various faces (are they even supposed to be circles?), and save it in 8bpp, but there's always a black box around the picture, anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

*Edit*

I'm using Photoshop 6, but have others available. (PSP, etc)

Are you using the same palette as the original images. (for the border)

Doubtful. How do I get the pallette from the image?

What program did you use to make the .flc file, and how can I get it?

I used Jasc Animation Shop. There's a free demo at www.jasc.com

I think there's also a little tutorial someone made for making Leader flcs someplace on this forum.
