Your sprite should have an alpha layer or a black background, if its black in LoadImage pass '1' as second parameter (Black Is alpha)

see LoadImage() re: set black as transparent.

but, since you're using .png, doesn't it already have alpha in it?
if so, just load it. the transparency doesn't matter at this point (loading it) but when you use it as a sprite, for example.

also fixed the typo in the title (was "spites")
