layer transparency without color transparency

I want to utilize layer transparency when I create a service on ArcGIS server.  When I create an SD I get an exception stating "Enabling the option to convert layer transparency to color transparency may improve performance".  I would like to disable this as when I look at the service with the flex viewer the transparency is gone.  If I bring the service into arcmap, the transparency is present.  Is it possible to take the hit in performance and not enable the option?

Thanks.

Correct Answer
The option to switch from layer transparency to color transparency is not enabled by default. To get color transparency you would have to right click on the warning "Enabling the option to convert layer transparency to color transparency may improve performance" that shows up during the publishing process and select "Use Color Transparency". Did you do this?

The fact that it is working fine in ArcMap, but not in FlexViewer seems to me is an issue with FlexViewer and has nothing to do with the map service that you published.
