I’m notreally 100% sure, but you might want to change **“\_alpha = 100”** to **“this.\_alpha = 100”** , and / or make sure the **“\_parent”** is the right path. try \_root… or something

you don’t need to change \_alpha=100 since \_alpha is in the scope of the object, so pretty much maybe you could post a .fla so i can check if \_parent.bomb is the right path
