mc._alpha = 0;

Howdy, strange...

I was looking at my (archaic, simple, ugly, dumb) cartoons that I make with FLASH on LCD flat screen. I can barely see (but see nonetheless) a text object that I have set the alpha = 0;. It's not very obvious, but what appears as a slight slight change in pixel output allows me to see a faint image. Normal?

Thanks,

is the text a bitmap? I've seen things like this with alpha...

try

text._visible=false;

cheers

Thanks! Think I'll do something like:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

if (text._alpha ==0) { text._visible=0;}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I'll work it out but it's good to know that this command exists :) FWIW, it's not a bmp but just straight Flash MX font. Not sure what you call it!

See ya,
Cheez
