Transparent background in container fields

[DFehrenbach]

I'm trying to get a graphic element (arrow) into a container field (gSortSeqFlagAsc), but I need the container field to have a transparent background. The graphic is native FMP lines grouped together, but when I copy it to paste into the container, I get a rectangular shape with a non-transparent background. I cannot figure out how to do this. Is this even possible?

You need to insert an image in .gif or .png format to get transparent background. I don't think there are any advantages in inserting FM native graphics into a container.

Here's a primer on making transparent graphics for FM7 and later (see attached).
