How do you make a 2d rectangle where you are able to see the background through it? I've seen some games have this and thought it was cool. Anyone know how to do it?
I think RH posted the easier (and generally better) way to do it... set the alpha color to something less than 1... like .5 for 50% transparency. I'm realizing that it is very important to streamline your images for improved performance and loading time. So, I try to keep as many special effects in GameSalad, rather than from Photoshop.
I'm seeing a huge difference in performance by using PNG-8 rather than PNG-24.
If it's a straight box, without transparency in the image itself, I'd probably make the box in GameSalad... or I would use a PNG-8 image without transparency... and then do the transparency in GameSalad.
