Hi, I am trying the dispaly some svg in a Dynamic Texture using a 2D context.  
It works fine up to the fact the actual content of the 2D context outside the sgv elements, stays **opaque and black**.  
How could I get it **transparent**?  
Here is a small PlayGround demonstrating the issue:

All the best! JML

As I have said on the forum; Thank you.  
I should have thought of this " **diffuseTexture.hasAlpha =**  **true"** , I used to make use of in the past…  
Nevertheless congrats and THANK YOU.  
Merci bien, Jean-Marie
