white opaque area around paths?

[Hoang_Pham@adobeforums.com]

why does illustrator create a while transparent area around my paths?

Huh?

Make up your mind. Is it opaque or transparent?

Have you specified a white stroke for your paths?

ack i mean opaque .. whoops lol
uh lemme show u an example
( the white opaque part is on the right of it and extends to where the top and bottom of the line is ( the parenthesis is an example of how the path is)

I'm sorry, Hoang, I'm still lost.

Did you mean to post an example of what you are describing? I see no link in your post?

Aha...

That looks like you have a white fill on the path the arrow points to.

Remove the fill, and you should be fine.

Illustrator will let you specify fills even when the path is not closed.
