Rudimentary Alpha Blending Window Ext

[gizmo]

Attached is the source code to an ext i started but then sent to turboferret to finish (who then left ) So im posting it here for a talented dev to pick up

Also attached is a quick example using MMF

The main problem was that the alpha process will override MMFs canvas, which is more or less the main issue before it can be developed into a fully fledged ext.

Enjoy!

Nice example. Good timing, too

Very interesting but there is a lot of work to done.

Some actions like that could be available for this object:
- Window > active object
- Window > PNG picture
- Alpha > from an active object
- Alpha > from a PNG alpha
- Alpha > from a picture

Currently there is "Window>PNG picture"

I think we can keep the MMF2 canvas by copying it into another RGBA picture used for the window... I'll want to try but I've no time at all...
