I’m trying to make transparent buttons (25% black opacity) directly on my main background but in the preview nothing is transparent, if I import the same background as a graphic item and make a 25% black opacity button it works in the preview.Can somebody help ?
One way I found to do this is in Photoshop–make a clipping path for
the item it will allow for a transparent path for the graphic you
have designed. When you export the file make sure it is a tif–or
tiff depending on what type of computer you are working with, hope
this helps! http://freewaytalk.net/person/options

Check the output format for those graphic items. It will need to be PNG at millions of colours if you want real transparency, showing what’s underneath through it’s 25% opaque fill.
thanks for the info, what I really want to understand is why it works on a graphic item (same used as background) but not on the background it self.why is that not the same thing ?the button I make is just another graphic item and not even a complex graphic.

Hard to say without seeing an example web page at least. Could you post a link somewhere?
Also, are you importing your graphic as pass-through? And/or is that item not layered but the simple graphic box layered?
hi again, I’m really a beginner I would like to link what I have done but and tried with 007sites.com and 0catch.com (free web hosting sites) with no success.Publish site does nothing and Upload I must not know what info to input since I always get this message : server is not responding.
What is pass-through ?It’s just a jpg :
Just a short message to say that I found a solution (the solution even), in the third pane of the inspector palette change to png and millions of colors.
Hope this can help somebody else.
