When making a color transparent it seems to only work completely when you

set the fill up as one color and then make one side transparent and the

other side 100%.  So if you want a gradient that goes from black to clear

you would make a new gradient, and set both of those little arrows to black

and then change the opacity of one (or two or three) of them.  I don't know

why, but if you use more than one color in a gradient, it doesn't seem to

want to go completely transparent.  If you want to use a bunch of different

colors you can set the gradient up for all of the different colors and then

layer them, That has worked for me in the past.....it's kind of a pain in

the ass, but it seems to work.
