This is something I have noticed in Flash for years and never actually knew there was a ‘fix’ for it. Thank you so much for this post!

your article explains the meaning of BlendMode.LAYER for me well.

Thanks a lot!

Brilliant find! Always wondered if that was possible. Thanks for posting!

Also note that the LAYER blendMode is also what allows us to use ALPHA and ERASE blendModes. A lot of people get hung up on that as well.

I think this is more to do with cacheAsBitmap rather than “layer” blendMode, yes?
this is why zgub’s having problems with white.
