RE: [flexcoders] container transparency does not apply to the Text children

[Gordon Smith]

I think Mark's problem is that alpha doesn't apply to system fonts. You have to use embedded fonts if you want to fade them. This is a limitation of the Flash Player.   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Igor Costa Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 10:43 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] container transparency does not apply to the Text children   parentDocument.idText.alpha = 0.3; It works.

If I change the alpha property for the container, I get some transparency for the background, but not the children. Is there a trick I am missing? Is there a simple way to apply the transparency to everything a container contains?
