In order to draw a semi-transparent box on top of a portion of my canvas, do I need to first draw it into a different picture, and then mask that picture, and draw it into my canvas as a picture rather than a filledRect?

Yes, unless you're using OS X, in which case you can just draw a RectShape with its Fill set to something like 50.

Ahh... I forgot that it's not using that new graphics library on Windows... (I forget the name of it.)
