100% transparency is not 100% invisible. Is glass invisible? No. It is
transparent, which means you can see thru it, but if you shine a light on
it, you will see a specular highlight. Try turning your specular value down.
Also, there's no need to morph your bar, simply build it with its origin
at the end (or move the pivot point) and use Stretch in layout to move
the other end.
