Hi,
I'm having a weird problem. Basically, I have a movie clip on stage, that is set to visible once some other events have finished. Within this movie clip, I have another simple movie clip which is a box, with solid colour, the alpha of which i want to set to say 0.4 to serve as a semi transparent background. The thing is, no method of trying to set this seems to work, it always appears full colour, hiding the background. I have tried to do it programatically, and also by simply putting the block on stage and changing the alpha through the properties inspector, but the alpha is never affected. Anyone any ideas? Never had a simple problem like this in as2...thanks!
