Did you embed the font?
Non embedded fonts will not respond to alphas.
The only work around is using a dissolve with the parents background
color.
Peace, Mike
Ok, I have now tried to embed some fonts and still can not get the alpha
property to have any effect!
<mx:Style>
@font-face {
src:url("C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/georgia.ttf");
fontFamily: mcGeorgia;
flashType: true;
}
...
Label {
fontSize: 12;
fontFamily: mcGeorgia;
}
</mxStyle>
<mx:Label alpha=".1"
text="{draws.currentItem.R_MOB_MNAME}"
toolTip="{draws.currentItem.R_MDL_MOBLID} {draws.currentItem.R_MOB_M
NAME} AM: {draws.currentItem.R_RCT_NAME}"
width="100%" minWidth="0"
truncateToFit="true"/>

I expected this to produce an almost invisible text. Nothing changed.

You can find more by solving the problem then by 'asking the question'.
