you should have asked this in your last "Animation Question" thread; no need to create a new one when it's closely related to the last one. it just adds to the clutter around here.
but, do you want the animation (i assume it's the same AVI file?) to fill up the whole screen? or, play it in its normal size but on a solid black background? or what, exactly, do you mean "seen without its background"?
did you look at the other animation commands as suggested in the other thread? there are only a handful of animation commands so a little experimentation should get you what you want.
give it a shot and come back with any questions you end up with (and please be a little more specific as to what you want to do).
