I tried to make the cool buttons, but when I changed the mode to screen it became totally white, not transparant at all. What did I do wrong? I've tried to figure it out but I have no idea why it didn't work. Will you please help me? Hello!

Select both the black to white gradient shape and the underlying object and in Transparency palette go Make Opacity Mask. I explain it here http://robcubbon.com/how-to-design-shiny-web-20-buttons-in-illustrator/ Doesn't seem to be working with me at the moment I need to look at the file I made when I created this. Will get back to you... :) Adrian,

I did it, but the appearence of the shape above don´t change to "polish" effect, it continue as black and white blend. What´s wrong? (sorry, my english is very poor!) Rob,
