transparent gradient and mesh 2

[19821511]

Hello,
I'm currently drawing some forms in a glass style so I figured out that I need to make some sliders of a gradient empty-no color. Changing colors and customizing gradient sliders is very nice and easy but placing "none" color just won't work like it does in a Flash. SO far in order to do that i can change opacity in a transparency tab but the problem is that i want to keep my color intensity on a highest level when making a shiny reflect for example.
I would appreciate any help, thanks.

What about leaving the opacity in the transparency tab at 100%, but changing from normal to multiply or darken?

...have you looked into opacity masks?
