You can't live your life creating a separate transparency map every time you
need one.
Just plug your texture into a 'colour to alpha' node, then that into the
transparency of the phong (or whatever)
It's as easy as that.
Just remember that the 'colour to alpha' has a misleading name.

Thanks Jamie.
I tried quite a few of those tutorials over at Ed Harriss .com. But in the
end I just succumbed to making a separate image file with a transparency map
on. And that worked!
Thanks
