Wow - punching holes in stacks!

Is this just a 2.9 thing or did I miss it before?
1. create a stack 2. Place a button or any control on the card 3. Give the control a background fill colour 4. Set the ink of the button to blend - no need to move the slider to set a blendlevel 5. select stack properties and set the blendlevel of the stack with the slider Any level of stack blend above I think 2 immediately punches a whole right through the stack. Interestingly this works for regular polygons as well - but not if anti-aliased is selected. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@...

The only thing the blendLevel of a stack *should* do is set its overall opacity -- unless you designate an image to act as a mask for the stack, a single control shouldn't have any bearing on the stacks appearance. At least, not usually. You may have discovered some unexpected behavior, which could be interesting. Would it possible to post a sample stack somewhere to look at?

Both stack & button are slightly transparent, but that's it. Clicking the button changes nothing but the stack rect.

Even more interesting is after resizing the button I get what appears to be an offset shadow from the button text, which might be generated by the window¹s shadow routine (?). http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/bug_sample.jpg This could almost be a feature resizable window mask. :-) Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, Multimedia & Design _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@...

I didn't get it with a MacPro with Leopard and a 30" monitor. Just
filled the screen with nothing and the button - under 2.9.

Yeah, it appears to be a Mac 10.4 Tiger bug. Odd but interesting.

Yes - doesn't work in Leopard here.
In a beauty test of bugs - that one gets my vote. It's a pity the non-Tiger users can't see it - maybe Ill put it on YouTube :) _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@...

Pretty > cool when it happens. I got it with the same configuration--Rev 2.9 on Intel Mac with 10.4.11. And it's a "true" hole--if you click on the hole where the button is, it clicks through to the application beneath.
