How do I set the opacity/transparency of a text box

Question

Hello,
I am trying to make a simple applescript to make a "FPO" which will be transparent at 50%
tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2014"
  tell active document
  set FPOimage to make text frame with properties {geometric bounds:{".25", ".25", "1.5", "4.2"}}
  set contents of FPOimage to "FPO"
  tell paragraph 1 of FPOimage
  tell paragraphs to set justification to center align
  set point size to 125
  set applied font to "Arial Black"
  set font style of paragraph 1 to "Regular"
  end tell
  tell text frame preferences of FPOimage
  set vertical justification to center align
  set opacity to 50
  end tell
  end tell
end tell
BUT ITS NOT WORKING...help?

Answer 1

I figured it out...
  tell FPOimage
  tell transparency settings
  set properties of blending settings to {blend mode:normal, opacity:40.0}
  end tell
  end tell
thank god for the internet, i do hope this helps anyone else looking to do the same thing. Next challenge is to make a dialog box so that the user can put any text in it and color they want.
- Cheers!
