 doTextScroll()

How to get this total solid black(on the background of the scrolling text)

[Jorndel]

change this: barElemBG.alpha = 0.5;
to: barElemBG.alpha = 1;

[Yamato]

color = (1, 1, 1);

Thats white..... Black is 0,0,0.

This + what jorndel said.

[Jorndel]

color = (1, 1, 1);

Thats white..... Black is 0,0,0.

This + what Jorndel* said.

@Yamato

Em, I am sure you saw wrong.
Because I believe that is the color for the text not the "bar"

Yes, you are right,

barElemBG.color = (0,0,0);
