In my first attempt to modify a shader I'm already stuck:-/

I try to add alpha blending to cf.blur.jxs like this:

blur += texture2DRect(image, texcoord00);

blur += texture2DRect(image, texcoord02);

blur += texture2DRect(image, texcoord20);

blur += texture2DRect(image, texcoord22);

This always results in alpha 1 regardless of the objects alpha color. While

"color.a = 0.5;" gives me just what I'd expect.

So gl_Color.a is not returning the objects alpha like I want it to. What am

blur = texture2DRect(image, texcoord11);
blur += texture2DRect(image, texcoord00);
blur += texture2DRect(image, texcoord02);
blur += texture2DRect(image, texcoord20);
blur += texture2DRect(image, texcoord22);

color.rgb = blur.rgb;
color.a = gl_Color.a;

This always results in alpha 1 regardless of the objects alpha color. While
"color.a = 0.5;" gives me just what I'd expect.

So gl_Color.a is not returning the objects alpha like I want it to. What am
I missing here??

ok got it. you need to get the gl_Color in the vertex program and pass it on

to the fragment program. Clearly my first shader attempt :-)
