Troubles with transparency and organic shapes

I'm trying to make an organic shaped ground for my platform game (s-shaped like: ~~~~~~ ) I have saved my test ground as a png-24 with transparency on. When I place the image in my game, the transparent square around my squiggly line is well, transparent but when I interact with the solid platform my player actor sits on top of the image where the transparent box would be.

How can I make it so that my actor interacts with the organic shaped platform without interacting with the transparent box?

Thanks!

    Although you have transparency in your image, Actors interacting with it will still see the original box shape.

    You need to simply bring your image in as a background (no behaviours) and then build a 'S' shape surface using several invisible rectangles that sit ontop of your image.

    Hmm, are you saying that there is no way to have an actor interact with an organic shape?

    No. Your only collision choices are rectangles or circles. You can build up complex ground shapes by laying out a bunch of invsible rectangles on top of the image.
