Sub App transparency?

[ChrisBurrows]

Is it possible for the sub application object to display "empty background space" in the source frame as transparent?

Chris. I don't think so.

That's a bummer!

[ChrisBurrows]

Sooo... there's no way of doing this?

It seems like it should be simple.

did you try window transparency object?

You can blit the screen, save it as a temp file and load it inside the subapp. Of course, this only works if you're planning on making a pause/subscreen. If you need something that runs parallel to the main app, I'm sure there'll be some slowdown if you do this on every frame. If it's just a region of the screen that needs blitting (maybe an interface window?), perhaps it won't be as slow, but I don't know. I'd dispense with the subapp if this were the case.

I heard that this was possible with the Window Shape object by setting an active as the transparency mask.

I'll try all those, cheers!

Chris. Did you find anything out?
