Yep.
>What is wrong?
Nothing.
What you are seeing is the paint window's inherent lack of alpha channel
interpretation.
If you try:
new(#bitmap).picture = member("test").picture
it will look like you expect it to in the paint window.
To quote from James Newton's excellent book (p.25)
"The Paint window is not aware of any alpha information. You will not see
any transparency effect in the Paint window."
But it seems that he too has no better explanation than mine - "that's the
way it is".
I'd guess this is one side-effect of the (apocryphal?) story that new
Director engineers are given the paint window to cut their teeth on
-Sean.
