Alpha set to Zero in Effects cause render issues

Problem Description

I have an effect that sets every pixel of an object to 0.0 so that it can be transparent.

However, if the pixel has rgb values other than 0.0, they will color objects behind them even though they are completely transparent.

Attach a Capx

Description of Capx

sprite with the effect

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• add the effect files to the effects folder
• open the capx and view how it renders over objects behind it

Observed Result

The pixels are coloring objects behind it even though they are completely transparent.

Expected Result

For pixels not to color objects behind, even if their rgb values are set. Basically, the alpha in the effect should influence the results.

also, obviously I don't intend to just make the objects transparent- I'll be adjusting various other stuff, but due to this issue it causes stuff to render incorrectly.

Closing as not a bug: your shader incorrectly handles premultiplied alpha - if you change the alpha to 0 you must also set the RGB channels to 0 as well.

Note we don't accept bugs in third-party code anyway.
