    See “Flash, FLV, and alpha channels: straight or premultiplied?”.

    This was one of the top results when I did a search using the title of this thread in the After Effects Community Help search.

    OK, But I’m not rendering to FLV.

    Staying In Animation+ Codec and leaving the Web compression to the Programmer

    from the page that I linked to:

    “Adobe Flash Professional and Flash Player only support alpha channels that are premultiplied with black. This is faster and simpler for Flash Player to decode than straight alpha channels. Flash Professional does not have a function to control how alpha channel colors are interpreted.”
