[color=darkblue]Hiya! I’m having some troubles with some script… This is what I would like to do:  
I have this graphic symbol in Flash, let’s call it ‘graphic1’.  
Above the graphic, there is a button, ‘button1’.  
No I need some code, so when you move your mouse OVER ‘button1’, the alpha of ‘graphic1’ is set lower (so it becomes less visible). Still following me 😉 ? How should I do this?[/color]

change the symbol behaviour to MovieClip… and use the \_alpha property. =)

```auto
button1.onRollOver = function() {
graphic1._alpha = whatever;
};

```
