Transparencies, shadows, etc.

[Intersag webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Well, I must say that when I first saw the chance of adding shadows and "advanced" transparencies in FHMX I was pretty excited.....however:

The shadows completly mess up the work...everything that gets in touch with the shadow will be pixelated and ruined. Same thing hapens with the transparencies (this, however, doesn't show on the screen, but when I print it to PS printer it changes all the colors and position of the objects afected by the transparencie).

Plus: When I use a Lens fill on a box for example, and over it I add... let's say a transparent Tif...with alpha channels making the transparencie (that Macromedia claims to support on FHMX), the program shows the object as transparent...however, any exports or prints will result on transparencie disapearing.

What I'd like to know is: Am I the only one having this problems? (I have both Mac and PC version and the problem is in both).
Is there any patch/fix for this?
If not, did Macromedia at any time say they were gonna fix it?

P.S. - Yes, I know, I can live without those effects/thinguies (I still switch back to FH9 a lot, 'cause it still looks the best in reliability), but I believe that if those things came with the package we pay for, they really should work.

No, you're not the only one. I pretend those options aren't even there
just to avoid such problems.
