• how to change the transparency of Display Text type

Hi guys, a while back, someone asked how to change the transparency of type created with the Display Text Behaviour.

I seem to remember the answer given by someone else was that you can't; I didn't get around to posting that you can.

I've just used text transparency again and was reminded of it; so I thought I'd post to let you know how to do it if you don't know how. It's really straightforward but I guess a lot of people still miss how to achieve changing opacity of Display Text type...

So: when you click the Color box, the Colors appears, as you know. Just above the swatches at the bottom is an Opacity slider; drag it to where you want and there you go; semi-opaque type.

Hope that's helped some of you. :-)

Right but this cannot be changed at the time your game is running. It still must be preset to a certain color/Opacity before you even publish the app. Just wanted to make that clear

Good to point out, Aaron. :-) Shame we can't change during runtime, isn't it! Fingers crossed for one day...
