Alpha Channel and CopyPixels

[Daniel Pliscoff]

it looks like you are copying into the alpha channel of the destination
image. Try creating a temp image to composeand then copy to the
destination image, also is always sane to use image duplicate()'s.
Something like:


textimage= member(YourTextMember).image.extractAlpha().duplic ate()
img = member(YourImageMember).image.duplicate()
img.copyPixels(textimage, textimage.rect, YourDestinationRect)
member("FinalImage").image = img

It worked for me ;) (W2K + DMX)

Hope it helps.

I need the alpachannel on to avoid a halo due to antialiasing of the image, but this causes the background behind the text I copy onto the member to create a transparent hole in the image. I've tried every ink for the copypixels and for the cast member, and I've tried changing background colours, nothing works.
