How am I screwing up alpha transparency on this texture?

The arrow is supposed to be floating all by itself, not sitting in a black square. I haven’t dealt with this in a while, so I’m pretty sure I’m forgetting something basic.

I don’t think you’ve uploaded the correct .blend

I packed in the image, and even saved it so that the arrow should be right in the middle of the 3D view. What’s it look like for you?

NEVERMIND, I GOT IT. Uploading now.

In the texture settings, you need to uncheck Alpha under Diffuse in the Influences tab, and then in the Material settings, change the Alpha-Blend from Opaque.
Hope that helps
