Storyboard Transition Question

Hey guys I’ve been trying to implement transitions using the storyboard template that have a static picture as the background but can’t seem to get it working correctly. Basically I’d like the background to stay the same in every scene while the buttons and images on the page “slide” left and right when calling new scenes.

I’ve tried setting a new image in the main file and sending it to the back of the display order (otherwise it always appears on top of everything else) but during transitions there’s always a black background behind all the elements moving.

To fix this I tried using display.setDefault( “background”, 0, 0 ) to make the background color transparent but for some reason the alpha value can’t be set.

Pretty stumped here guys any help will be greatly appreciated :). [import]uid: 85128 topic_id: 22883 reply_id: 322883[/import]

Just don’t add a background to the scene.view. The scene.view is what is transitioned upon, so if it isn’t in there, it will remain. [import]uid: 103624 topic_id: 22883 reply_id: 91387[/import]

The problem however is that screen elements that are transitioned have a color outline around them which is black by default. Unless the background color is a solid matching color it still poses an issues (I’m using a picture background). [import]uid: 85128 topic_id: 22883 reply_id: 91389[/import]

Try :

display.setDefault( “background”, 0, 0, 0, 0 ) [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 22883 reply_id: 91477[/import]

Switching over to RGB from grayscale produces the same effect unfortunately. [import]uid: 85128 topic_id: 22883 reply_id: 91572[/import]
