Dear Greg and List, inspired by your mail, I went and created a testing document with one object which I filled with a solid colour and experimented with combinations of settings.
I found that in the properties window, there is Colours-tab with Fill-tab (Fill Mode is "Solid") and I have Shade, which translates in my .sla <PAGEOBJECT .../> to entries like this: Shade 15% >>> SHADE="15" Shade 40% >>> SHADE="40" Shade 100% >>> no entry Then below there is Transparency-tab with Solid-tab and I have Opacity, which translates in my .sla <PAGEOBJECT .../> to entries like this: Opacity 100% >>> no entry Opacity 75% >>> TransValue="0.25" Opacity 60% >>> TransValue="0.4" Opacity 40% >>> TransValue="0.6" so this one is working "backwards"; because of the definitions of opacity versus transparency I suppose I had found in the help about the API the command that you also gave me, namely setFillTransparency(transparency, [name]) which I believe belongs to the first series above called "Shade". I am still looking for a command which gives me access to the second series called "TransValue". Why? Because in my little video-animation it would give me a very sexy way of fading-in my text (the proverb), while the ants are marching below. I found another command which controls in the Text-Properties, Colour & Effects-tab "saturation of colour of text fill" (0 - 100%) but that is not nice for fading in, because a low saturation gives me ugly white text on top of a coloured background. In contrast, a low opacity value gives me almost invisible text on top of coloured background and then gets nicely more and more visible. I somebody could please point me to the online folders, where all the scripter "commands" are created/hosted, I could learn to "read the source" - not for programming, but for spying into all available commands. Then I would not need to bother this list with my API questions. I remember that I did this once, a good while ago, when I needed to find details about png-bitmap exports. It took me a lot of time, but gave me valuable details I believe. Thanks. Sorry it got long again, subject line is now a lie...
