How to do this?

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

Help please ASGurus…
