Actually, i have got a solution for this problem in Photoshop. See here

How to export 'Lighten Blending Mode' to Transparent PNG (Photoshop)

But i force similar problem ini Illustrator. Here my problem :

I have created a circle shape with gradient and then blend it to screen/lighten.

Same as my problem in Photoshop, when i hide background layer, my circle shape become black. How to keep its transparency when i export it to PNG?

Picture below :

In photoshop, we can using 'Blend if' or my favorite trick 'Luminosity Mask'.

Thanks.

Correct answer Brad @ Roaring Mouse

It didn't lose it transparency.

You will have to rethink your approach.

In order for a "Screen" Transparency effect to work using a gradation like that (from a Color to Black), is it has to have something behind it to work on. Without a color to blend against it stays Black. This is normal.

Instead, create a gradient that goes from 100% of your yellow color at 100% Opacity, to 100% of your yellow at 0% Opacity at the other end.

In fact, with the revised approach, you need not select "Screen" if you don't want to. Use "Normal" and you will have a rich colour in the middle.
