[LEFT]Hey all,

I’m new to flash and found the Kirupa website that I like the desgin of =)
I’m doing the tutorial ‘Creating a Simple Flash 8 Animation’ and on page 3 it tells me to change the text to ‘alpha’. I’ve looked everywhere and I can’t where I change it. Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Ok I’ve been sat here for3 hours now and still can’t find the ■■■■ thing…

_alpha is a property of a MovieClip, Graphic, etc. that controls the opacity level. To change it within the GUI, the text has to be converted to a symbol, then you’d choose the Alpha in the color drop down, in the property window.

That actually hasn’t helped. I still don’t have a clue…
This is THE first time I’ve used Flash 8 so please be more specific
