Thanks Alan, works great and I am glad you figured it out. Thanks to the rest of you as well, but I am asking for a way to create a PNG with colored text and a transparent background, not a totally transparent image. I just couldn't get a handle on CFX_IMAGEFLARE's rgba function calls that work from their documentation. I am waiting for a reply from them, but Alan came through with a work-around until they get back to me.

I use ImageFlare...The solution I've been using is a TOTAL HACK, but it works. Create a blank transparent PNG file in Photoshop, then use that as the basis for your new image. <cfx_imageflare source="\ b = Bitmap( '#expandpath('Trans.png')#' ) f = Font( 'Coliseum Normal', 24 ) b.text( 'Some Text', 0, b.height, f, Color('red') ) b.save( '#expandpath('Trans2.png')#' ) "> You can make the transparent image any size as you'll be able to dynamically size it to fit as you need it.
