Is there a way to change Alpha settings on MC using AS? Something like this:
```auto
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
startDrag("");
ALPHA SETTINGS HERE ( Ex: Alpha=20%)
}
```
Im trying to duplicate the window effect on this weeks site of the week: [http://www.ijorgeantonio.com](http://www.ijorgeantonio.com)
Thanks for the help!
