Yeah dude, I am confused. I create a tween and stuff in my own file, and it works fine, but when I create a tween in your and try and change the alpha, it comes up as a mixed symbol so I can’t change the alpha or anything. It makes no sense, I didn’t even use any graphics. I also tried every way I could to change this RGB through AS, still a no go. It really makes no sense. ---

No, it wasn’t something you did, this was when I tried recreating the tween from scratch in your movie clip. That is why I am confused… because its not something you did, whenever I create a tween Flash it making it a mixed symbol and I don’t know why. ---

Nope. I did my usual, it works fine for me when I start a new document, but it doesn’t work that way when I do it in your document. ---
