But from what I gathered when it didn't work is this: it's not technically possible. But you could make some tiny, virtually unoticeable adjustments - put a 1x1 pixel dot somewhere on the image - or a 1 pixel wide border. This would create the RBG channels needed, also allowing you to have an alpha channel. The 1 pixel can be considered the "image" that Photoshop wants to see, and everything else should work just fine. Just choose a color that would blend well with whatever you're trying to do - or that at least won't stand out. Hope that helps... and if you do figure it out, please let me know - that's good info to have! ~Lady Silver

The only way I can think of being able to do that is to change the transparency levels in game.
