InDesign - Inner glow effect using transparence instead of paper color?

I have a graphic created in InDesign which I would like to save as a png, with a transparent background in order for it to be used on slightly shaded backgrounds. In this I would like to use the inner glow effect on a photo, but when I export this as png,  the background is transparent, but the inner glow (with "paper color") is saved with the glow being white and not transparent. Is it possible to create this effect with transparent?
