Transparent png works on import too so this format works well both ways. So you can export a png with transparency, then re-import it again as a new layer.

I do this when I use text that lags my PC. I always try to avoid AS text but sometimes it is a must.
Multiply is the way to go (screen as the opposite). Have used this quite often. Again, think of rendering gradient PNG + BG once, then import as 1 PNG image, instead of letting AS calculate the effect for every time - saves rendering time!
