that’s crazy… i just spent so much time doin this

```php
opacityListener = new Object();
opacityListener.onKeyDown = function() {
	if (Key.isDown(49)) {
		shapes._alpha = 10;
	}
	if (Key.isDown(50)) {
		shapes._alpha = 20;
	}
	if (Key.isDown(51)) {
		shapes._alpha = 30;
	}
	if (Key.isDown(52)) {
		shapes._alpha = 40;
	}
	if (Key.isDown(53)) {
		shapes._alpha = 50;
	}
	if (Key.isDown(54)) {
		shapes._alpha = 60;
	}
	if (Key.isDown(55)) {
		shapes._alpha = 70;
	}
	if (Key.isDown(56)) {
		shapes._alpha = 80;
	}
	if (Key.isDown(57)) {
		shapes._alpha = 90;
	}
	if (Key.isDown(58)) {
		shapes._alpha = 100;
	}
};
Key.addListener(opacityListener);

```

I was just followin the tutorial and what you did and stuff… but dang… lol… i have a lot to learn

Well I could get all “obfuscated” and stuff, and in that case, my listener code would be better and probably less lines, but you would need the keyCode to each character unfortunately.

And you could do an if/else instead of if, if, if, if, etc.

Obfuscating code is condensing it down. To truly obfuscate though, the code would be unreadable really.

Mine wouldn’t be that obfuscated, just minor stuff.

Some thing like this???

```auto

		else
			shapes._alpha = (Key.getCode() - 48) * 10;
	}
	else if ((Key.getCode() >= 65) && (Key.getCode() <= 90))
	{
		var colorful = new Color("_root.shapes");
		colorful.setRGB(colorArray[Key.getCode() - 65]);
	}
};
Key.addListener(opacityListener);

I know that you cannot check the code out, that’s why I just created bogus code so that xxviii can check it out and get into the swampt… 😛 Kidding… 😉

Yep yep, still having that problem ☹ My comp is getting better though, I can actually open Flash now!!! YAY!!! (well at least for a little bit)… and and… the other day I could actually open Photoshop and create a new footer/avatar!!!

Granted it ran like crap, but before I would get a memory usage error. So somehow it improved since then 😛 =)

Hehe… I hope you can figure out how to fix it soon… (I thought that somebody offered you one if I remember correctly…)  
Well… I got bigger problem… My old PII 300 on 56k is lagging like hell when I am in Kirupa due to lots of SWF footers… It’s gotta a little bit better after you guys forced the size restriction and such, but it is bad… Oh, well… What can I do about it??? ☹

Wow, now that is a bad case senario ☹

You could disable the viewing of footers for you. That should help.

Just go to UserCP/Edit Options/

In there will be something that says…

Yes, I know… I don’t really want to disable it because there are some good ones that my eyes like… 😉 Besides, I did turn that off when I first came here but I didn’t see much difference…

I dont think I saw this mentioned, but you can set alpha with the color object. Consider this function which will let you set RGB and alpha at once

```auto

Color.prototype.setRGBA = function(hex, a){
	this.setRGB(hex);
	this.setTransform({aa:a})
}

```

new Color(shapes).setRGBA(0x336699, 50);

Also, depending on those colors, you might be able to reduce the typing of all those hexes by making them a function of the keycode etc

yada yada yada 😉
