Away3D Forum BlendMode.SCREEN (clip over Away3D): Works in Player 11, not AIR?

Hello gurus,
I’m using Flash CS6 to produce an interactive kiosk, running in AIR 3.2 for Desktop. Starting this project in Flash Player 11.2, I transitioned the project to AIR and added the following lines to my xml file to make it work (source 1 source 2):

<initialWindow>
        ...
        <renderMode>direct</renderMode>
        <depthAndStencil>true</depthAndStencil>
    </initialWindow> 

After reading about how Away3D is always shown at the bottom of the display list, I added a background “over” Away3D, with a screen blending mode which fit my needs.

Here’s what it looks like in Flash Player 11:

Here’s what it looks like after switching to AIR (oops! not blending anymore):

Here’s what it looks like when I remove the background (it works I guess, but I like my subtle background):

Any thoughts on how I can make the blending work again over Away3D, or is there a way I can look at this differently?

The background is on the stage to start as a MovieClip with the name of “back”. I’ve tried setting the display blending mode in the properties panel and also like this (both work in Flash Player 11, not AIR):


back.blendMode = BlendMode.SCREEN;

I appreciate the feedback in advance! :D

Thank you,

Chris
