I'm using Photoshop CS3, and Imageready. I tried eliminating smei-transparent pixels but there's still some white pixels of unkown cause. :(

Well, you can remove them frame by frame in IR, I just tried. Add a temporary background layer to make sure you see them all. There's 2: one white, one fluctuating grey. They appear in 3 out of 4 frames.
I guess you let them there by mistake when drawing the frames on a transp bg, with the transp checkerboard you easily miss them.
Or else maybe you have some weird optimization setting: dithering, quality loss... but it shouldn't do that anyway. IR is full of nasty traps...

This is simple then. Your tool settings are incorrect. There is a tut in the gallery links section to help with settings.

Those 2 white pixels are not 100% opaque and ImageReady will only see then as opaque (default white).

ImageReady has its own 'output' settings that you'll need to fix the setting for too.
