Sami,

First for "convert to alpha image", have a look at the online Help file under "Version 9 How To's" and scroll down to the sub-heading "Complex Masks".  This shows the effect of switching the alpha channel on and off.

Animated objects is, I think fused for animated png files, but someone else with a bit more information may reply to this point.

Hide child objects is used when you have a main object with a child additional object.  If you apply a 3D movement to the main object and you do not want to see its back side, you can switch on "hide child objects", and when the main objet rotates you will see a blank side and no child object.  Just try it and you will see how it works.
