Alpha changes the opacity of the object. What is opacity? Opacity is the transparency of the object. What is transparency? How much you can see through the object What is see through? When you can see what is behind an object by looking through it. 0 = clear 50 = half clear/half solid 100 = solid ::can you tell I was bored :P:: ---
