I don't think it's possible yet to set the opacity of the field's
background
separately from its content. Regardless, it doesn't seem that big
a deal to
set the field's opaque to false and place a translucent image (or
graphic
under 2.7) behind.
Hmm let's see. Current project I'm trying to make a bit more "classy":
18 fields; quite a bit of tweaking of fld sizes and positions... each
change would require an additional tweak of the translucent "under
cover" object...
Of course this could be done by script I suppose if one were to be
smart enough to name the graphic the same as the field with slight
change in nomenclature
field name "rates" graphic name "rates-bkgnd"
repeat with x = 1 to the number of fields
create grc
--do more stuff here
set the rect of grc (the shortname of fld x &"-bkgnd") to the rect
of fld "x"
end repeat
But, I think I'll put this in as feature request... I was hoping the
new feature meant we finally got background transparency also, so we
could design like we do in our old graphic world (InDesign CS2 at the
moment)
