Static Image transparency problem

[Elaine]

Hi!
I'm trying to display an image on a static image by using createImagesetFromImageFile. The problem is that it's an irregular shape so basically it should be transparent in the part where its transparent. It doesn't appear like this, however. Instead of being able to see through the transparent parts it just appears black. I've tried doing an alpha channel with both png and tga but I can't get it to work. Looking through the forums all I can find is how to set the overall alpha for the image but this doesn't apply in this case because some parts should be completely opaque and some parts completely transparent. Any help would be appreaciated. I have a feeling there's a very simple solution that I'm just not getting!

Hi,

Did you disable the background on the static image?

Code: Select all

staticImage->setProperty( "BackgroundEnabled", "False" );

(Or use a similar property if you have it in a layout file).

CE.

That worked - thanks!
