If you check this link on various browsers you will see that on Google Chrome on Windows the star disappears. It seems, if you make a layer the child of distorted hotspot, Windows Chrome cannot handle an alpha between 1 and 0. All the other browsers (including OSX Chrome) on all the platforms I have access to, work fine.
Does anybody know a work around which doesn't involve using an alpha of 1?
here's the code
addhotspot(Test);
set(hotspot[Test].url,%SWFPATH%/Dot.jpg);
set(hotspot[Test].distorted,1);
set(hotspot[Test].ath,0);
set(hotspot[Test].atv,0);
set(hotspot[Test].ry,45);
set(hotspot[Test].rx,0);
set(hotspot[Test].rz,0);
set(hotspot[Test].alpha,.5);
addlayer(Test);
set(layer[Test].url,%SWFPATH%/Star_.png);
set(layer[Test].parent,hotspot[Test]);
