Transparent Alphas using an AVI, how to make it work?!

[JOAN_LORD]

Hey Guys, I'm trying to re-create an "Aqua Graphic" http://www.aquagraphics.com/gallery-photo.html - it's a metal frame that drops small bits of water in a sequence to create a shape or text before it hits the ground, I've created the animation aspect of it already in After effects and created a AVI of it. I then thought surly all I need to do now is add this black and white AVi in to the opacity map of the texture and apply it to a plane then it would work, but it isn't!

Are AVI's supported in the opacity slot? is there something else I could do?

Cheers
