Hi,

I am retrieving a vrml model into my 3D world.  The nodes in the vrml file
contain a transparency value of either 0 or 1.  I have to problems:

1. I cannot change the transparency on a node that has an initial value of
0.  The only way that I can change the transparency on that node is to go
into the vrml file and physically change the value from 0 to 0.01.  The next
time I retrieve that vrml file, the node appears semi-transparent and I can
then change the transparency on the node.  What am I doing wrong?

2. When I change the transparency of a node and that node contains children,
the children's transparency is also being change along with it.  The
situation that I have is the following:  I have a node that is visible that
I want to be able to control transparency.  The same node contains child
nodes that are not visible and I don't ever want them to be visible.  So as
I change the transparency of the parent node, I want the child nodes to
remain hidden.  (By the way, before I can even change the transparency value
on the parent node, I have to edit the vrml file and change the transparency
value of that node from 0 to 0.01.)  What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to resolve this problem ASAP.  Any help would be appreciated.
