Hey list I've worked out what I was doing wrong. All the copyPixel activity I was doing was performed after I assigned my image object its alpha channel so it looks like it was getting overwritten. Assigning my alpha channel as the last thing I do seems to be doing the trick.
Thanks to all for the help, and as I start doing more complex things I'll come running back for more tips.
