true colour transparency

I have tried a couple of blending tutorials for making 3D objects transparent. The main problem is when I try it with a large number of cubes (mostly red in colour) in line the colour becomes white. Is there any way around this?

yes there is.

What blending function do you use?
What other colours your cubes have?
