Var,

Objects in Revolution inherit properties from their parents objects. In 
the case of substacks (and dialogs are just specialized substacks), the 
parent is the mainstack. Check the backgroundColor prop of the 
mainstack. It's probably been set to black. If it isn't that, then 
somehow the default background color for the engine got set to black, 
it which case I'm out of my depth.
