Alpha Channel Object, Overlay and PNG-Support

[Quinto]

Hello,

the alpha channel object help says:

"The object can also get data from the Overlay Redux object, and save to it too - using the Alpha Channel object, you can add full PNG support (loading AND saving) to the Overlay object."

But when loading an png or alpha channel into overlay, there is only 1-color-transparency.

Is overlay object still limited to this or how to get it to work?

Yes, the Overlay is limited to 1-color-transparency.

"The object can also get data from the Overlay Redux object, and save to it too - using the Alpha Channel object, you can add full PNG support (loading AND saving) to the Overlay object."
I think that only means, that you're able to edit PNG files incl. their alpha channel.
Because that's impossible without the Alpha Channel object so far.

If you want to display a background with alpha channel use Greyhills Background Images object. Its also possible to load and save its pictures from/to the Overlay object.
