I would like to save my logo with a transprent background

I am using

OS9
adobe photoshop5 (no giff save)
powerpoint (MSOff98)
gifBuilder 0.5

Logo to be converted

Any advise

I don't want to use flash as I don't have the flash builder program and want more universality.

When you're editing it in photoshop, erase the parts you don't want. if the transparent checkered background doesn't show up, copy your entire logo, create a new project, and make sure at the bottom of the options on the "new" screen says transparent. now after erasing everything you want transparent, save it. make sure in the options transparent is checked. i recommend save for web since it makes the file smaller.

I don't have Gifbuilder but there must be a transparency option of some sort. Many animated gif builders tell you to pick a color that is transparent - pixels that are in the selected color will become transparent when displayed. Gifbuilder is probably like this, but I don't know for sure. Hopefully someone else on the board has this software.

As for changing the color of the brush, you just..change the color! Once you're working on a transparent background you can just draw and erase. Wherever there is nothing..there will be nothing (transparency).

P.S. Did you code that TicTacToe game yourself? It's pretty cool I made one similar to that but was too lazy to code the AI for the computer to be impossible, just good. Like your level 2, only win when you start.
