Transparency of objects within nested group and createRect transparency within groups are not working properly.

So, basically the following would simply make the second rectangle disappear when there's anything under it

    local group = RNGroup:new()
    local rect = RNFactory.createRect(100, 0, screenFW, screenFH, { rgb = { 255, 255, 255 }, parentGroup = group})
    local rect2 = RNFactory.createRect(0, 0, screenW, screenH, { rgb = { 0, 255, 0 }, parentGroup = group})
    rect2:setAlpha(0.5)
    group:insert(group2)

While

    local rect = RNFactory.createRect(100, 0, screenFW, screenFH, { rgb = { 255, 255, 255 }})
    local rect2 = RNFactory.createRect(0, 0, screenW, screenH, { rgb = { 0, 255, 0 }})
    rect2:setAlpha(0.5)

would set the transparency properly.

Also:

• setAlpha on an image within group2 nested group doesn't work, with them just showing as fully opaque.
• inserting a rectangle w/ the rgb={0,0,0} into a group makes them fully transparent. It's as if the alpha is set to 0 as well, while rgb={125,0,0 } is around half transparent, and rgb={255,0,0} is fully opaque

Any idea on how to handle these? I'm trying to add an in-game popup w/ some transparencies. Thanks. :)

Interestingly it appears that if you move the creation of rectangle after the scene onCreate function is called, you can prevent this problem.
For now I just lazy-load the popup rectangles for when the player needs it, solving the transparency issue.
