Transparent Rich Edit Text?

[Pablo]

Hello.

Since the Formated Text Object has the "transparent" property, is there any way to make the Rich Edit Text transparent?

I just would like to be able to have a static background behind the object. I would use the multiline Edit Box object, but when the text scrolls the background image trembles in a nasty way (just put a edit box object in front of a background and push ENTER until the cursor reaches the bottom of the object).

Any ideas? Or maybe a future possibility of a "transparent" property in the rich edit object? Thanks a lot!

Maybe have a popup sub app with no border over the REO, and fade the sub app using Kernel object? If the sub app has matching background it will look like it really works.

Hi LB!

Well... Certaintly it will work (I tried it), but it limits the possibilities of font colour and background, because placing the background in front of the text always changes the font colour. For example, using this technique I couldn't be able to show a dark blue image as background and a white font (as the text will always have some blue in it).

But hey, thanks for the advice! If there is not other way, I'll do it this way. Good thinking

Well, you can always try to convince Sphax to fix the bug with settying transparency to 0 makes the window visible because that bug is very annoying.
