[FMX] Can you control graphic symbol properties with AS

Hi Does any one know if you can set and change different properties of a graphic symbol using AS? I know you can change MC’s and buttons.
I also know that you can change graphic symbol properties using the prop inspector.
I was thinking that since you can change properties like _alpha in the Prop Inspector, how to you set and control them using AS.

thanks for the help

nope
you need to make it a movieclip

Thanks,
This answer will keep me from banging my head off the wall.

All in all though it doesn’t matter if it’s an MC. MC’s can be used in place of Graphical symbol in any example I’ve seen in Flash.
