OK, I woke up this morning with an epiphany: inks and groups and all that funky stuff are unnecessary. It should be possible to dynamically create a mask using a simple scaling graphic object and an image for the mask data. So, while it's not a true solution, the above does allow for a resizable transparent stack with rounded corners. Execute the following in your message box: go url "http://www.tactilemedia.com/site_files/downloads/transtack.rev"; The stack contains a couple of resizing controls -- the titlebar button at the top, and the slider that sets the roundradius of the stack's corners. This uses every trick I can think of to make the stack render properly, and while it works, you'll see the issue is one of scale & response. When resizing the stack to larger sizes, the creation/application of the bitmap mask apparently takes a toll on performance, so response slows down. (Funny it works better here on Vista than OS X). But again, if you can live with a stack that "jumps" to any number of preset sizes of your choosing (using a toggle control, menu option, or similar) the method used here should be perfectly acceptable.
