Selection does not work unless alpha is manually set to 1

[velara3]

Programmatic selection of cells does not appear to work. It is but the fill alpha is set to 0.

To test

1. Comment out the change in ContainerController (see code below) and recompile.
2. In TableExplorer click Add Editable Table
3. Click the select rows or select cells

Expected:
The rows or cells are selected

Actual:
It appears that nothing is changed. No selection is visible.

In ContainerController in addSelectionChild the format that is used is returning an alpha of 0. This makes the selection invisible.

Here is the change:

        if (selectionSprite.alpha != curAlpha)
-               selectionSprite.alpha = curAlpha;
+               selectionSprite.alpha = 1;//curAlpha; testing remove this - when set to 1 it works
