About the "gamma", it's just the brightness (from an image, or from the monitor). Never mind, my monitor is setted very dark.

Related to your problem:

1) It's useful to work with PNG instead JPG, as it hasn't compression, and doesn't modifies the image at all. (Ok, JPG files are small, but if you haven't a lot, with PNG you'll get almost the same Kbs, and better quality).

2) You can crop the image before importing it in Flash (with something like IrfanVIew, or Photoshop).

3) Anyway, it's also possible to crop inside Flash. If you wonder how to do this, you can google for "how to crop with flash", and probably you'll get back to Flashkit:
