Hi guys,

I’m loading an external image trough this code:

var richiesta:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“img/foto1.jpg”);  
var immagine:Loader = new Loader();

immagine.load(richiesta);  
addChild(immagine);  
Now all works fine but I don’t know how to use this image. If I want for exemple change the alpha of this loaded image how to do this?  
Do i have to make a new instance of it?

Can you help me please?
