Alpha/Opacity and Fading in Flash

Hello. In this tutorial you will be learning about Alpha (aka "Opacity") and fading objects in Flash. Alpha can be described as the "see-throughness" or "transparency" of an object in Flash. You can control the "Alpha" of a SYMBOL (button, movie clip or graphic) in 2 ways. Using Actionsript, or using the properties panel. In different situations, one or the other is suitable, and sometimes both. For instance, if you wanted to dim the "Submit" button of a form until all the forms are filled, you would most likely control the opacity of that button using actionscript. So, we’ll start with the actionscript way on the next page.
