No instance panel in MX? No effects panel in MX either… so… maybe I missed how to do something as simple as this…

import a graphic… load a graphic into a movie so the graphic will simply fade in…

hmm… can’t find alpha anywhere! if I click on graphic, I get graphic properties… If I click on frame… oh there’s effect! but it’s grayed out! Great… I can’t find it!

Any ideas?

…boy, I sound like a moron asking this question at this stage of the game… I guess I could just do it in 5 and bring into MX… oh yeah, that’s right… I uninstalled 5…

It’s all now in the “Properties” panel.
