Greetings everyone,
I wasn’t sure where this thread belongs, it’s probably more about Flash in general than about any specific version… This seems to be the most frequented forum though, so here goes:
Here’s the situation: On the stage there’s one MC named ‘container’ containing two movieclips named ‘A’ and ‘B’. A lies above B, completely covering it. Now I go in and ramp down container._alpha (via the mx.transitions.Tween class, or with a regular onEnterFrame-handler, doesn’t really matter). I expect to see the container with its contents fade out as a whole.
But what happens is that the clips A and B themselves are fading out as if I had changed their respective _alphas. So when container._alpha is set to 50 both A and B are half transparent, which means I can actually see B shining through A, which is not what I want. 
Is there a way to affect the _alpha of the sum of A & B?
If this is just how Flash works and nothing can be done about it… Well, that would suck. :puzzled: I guess that’s what it looks like though.
