Hi,

I know this is probably very basic, but I am quite new to this. I have imported a jpeg and converted to a button. I want the button to become transparent when the mouse rolls over. I know you can use alpha normally, but I do not seem to be able to use this function with my buttons.

Am I doing something wrong?

Any advice would be most welcome.

Thanks, Justin :hr:
