Not really.... When using Sprite3DBlendingMode() you can not rely on it working the same on all graphic cards. This problem was discovered when I made the Fireworks Demo on the Resources Site.

Some cards work fine using Sprite3DBlendingMode(2,7) and others show a black screen. If you have a black screen this can usually be corrected by changing to Sprite3DBlendingMode(0,2) , which will give the same effect as 2,7 does on other cards.

Really to bad this command does not function the same across all video cards ;(

Sprite3DBlendingMode(0,2) do not correct the problem...
i'm disappointed

It's strange because it's first time i've such a graphic problem with my ATI Rage 128 Pro.

Also be aware that VIRTUALYS is using a 127x127 sprite which is not a legal size when using 3DSprites. Should be 128x128.

Some cards can handle the illegal size, some cannot.

Resize "partflexi.bmp" to 128x128 and see what happens.

Yeaaaahhh !!!

That's right Paul, i just resize the picture to 128x128 and now it works perfectly...

So, now i can say that's a very nice effect

This is a very useful information for my ATI graphic card.

thanx thanx

Hmm, just downloaded the demo and it workes fine on my ATI RAGE MOBILITY-M1 AGP card (laptop)
Then I saw that the bmp file was already changed to 128x128.

I did a test and changed it to 127x127 and now on this graphic card I have text with a shadow - looks cool, but I suppose this effect is not reliable...
