Hello,

i used setRGB() to change a movieclip (with just a graphic) inside and it worked… but when i change this movieclip alpha and the setRGB() effect just disappears and the color goes back to what it was before, then it changes the alpha normally.

How can i maintain the setRGB() color forever?

Thanks
