Hi All,
Just after a few pointers with using transparent PNG’s. Is the only way to make use of them by manually masking the transparent areas?
If I create masks, I assume I have to create the same mask in different sizes to cater for dynamic resolution?
Is there no way for Corona to interprete the transparent pixels of a PNG image?
Many Thanks.
What do you mean interpret pixels of a PNG? Are you using physics?
Transparency is handled natively with .png. So if part of your image is transparent it will be transparent in Corona, too. So as Jon asks; is this a physics question?
If this is a hit-testing question (so “touch”, not physics) then refer to this post.
Thanks Guys,
Rich it was just a basic question about using a transparent PNG. I wasn’t on or near my “development” PC so wasn’t able to try it. All the tutorials and information I found all said things about masking so I was under the impression that Corona would just cause transparent pixels in a PNG image to be a solid colour unless you applied a mask but it sounds awesome in that it does actually interpret transparency!
Thanks for replies for my basic noob question!
