Maybe . . . However it may have something to do with the way I made my odd-shapes templates: I initially exported primitives from Open Office Org. Draw as PNG images [these do not contain transparent areas], then opened them in GIMP, sprayed the white [i.e. would-be transparent areas] with PINK, and then selected the pink, layered that onto a metallic template, deleted the pink, leaving a metallic shape - then saved as a PNG. I wonder if exporting my initial primitives from Open Office Org. Draw as GIF images [which do contain transparent areas] and playing around with them will allow me to end up with PNG images that behave themselves with Runtime Revolution. I have yet to try exporting button shapes as GIF images. I suppose this would circumvent any "volatility" related to RR and PNG images. However; it is Friday night - off to a concert of music by Buxtehude (my favourite composer) with my wife - and tomorrow I have to sort out the kitchen units I messed-up installing the dishwasher. So, will try the above on Sunday. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I do feel that the documentation on imageData and alphaData is woefully lacking. The "happy, little experiments" I seem to be conducting at the moment, leave me no clearer on the subject: idiot savant! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- sincerely, Richmond Mathewson. ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
