Blendmode doesn't work with BlitMask?

[Vicware]

When I setup a textfield and describe a blendmode for it, and then assign

a blitMask, the blitmask works fine with scrollx, etc., but the blendmode is gone.

If I bypass the blitmask, the blendmode works fine.

 

I saw in the API that there are some things that won't work with blitmask (i.e. kerning) but

didn't see anything about blendmodes being nullified. Blendmodes do not work

when you're using blitmask on objects?

After several more hours on this, I pretty well confirmed that blendmodes just don't

work while the mc is blitmask'd. If I animate the mc, and at the end have

onComplete:blitMaskA.disableBitmapMode, the blendmode effect instantly reappears.

That is an acceptable limitation. I'll just do my thing a different way.

I uploaded a new version of BlitMask today that will automatically copy the target's blendMode when the BlitMask's bitmapMode is turned on. That should fix it for ya

 

Please snag the latest version and let me now if it works well.

cool! I was just in the middle of writing a series of vague and mostly incorrect assumptions about this:)

I'll check it out right away.

That's incredible.

 

YOU'RE THE MAN!

 

That's what I call support. It wasn't that big a deal and I accepted that

it was likely it was just going to be a limitation, but perhaps you figured

out quickly you could add this behavior for blendMode without too much

trouble.

 

You can see it in the attached swf, which I'm still putting together.

(The big "PHOTOGRAPHY" at the top). Like I said, still working on it.

 

SUPER - THANK YOU,
