Setting a movieclip to alpha 0 % via AS?

How to do this?

like my movie container in my _root, how do i set its alpha to 0? does this work: _root.contMovie.setAlpha(0); ? or is there any other possibility to set its alpha to 0?

the best thing for me would be if i could fade it to alpha via AS command, i can’t control it direct because the movieclip is 2 levels above…:slight_smile:

Help please ASGurus…
