actionscript for changing alpha

[TaiChi56]

Sorry guys,
I usually read your FAQ, but I am in a bind. I need to get a button to work changing alphas. I have a button that when clicked it shows a blue arrow pointing to a graph. What I want to do is when I click another button to show a different arrow, I want the other original blue arrow to disappear, thus not showing that graph. I hope this makes since.

So something like, on click alpha is 100%, on click of a different button the other button's alpha goes to 0% The secret in education lies in respecting the student. {Ralph Waldo Emerson}.

blue._visible=true;
}

on (release){
blue._visible=false;
}
blue the instance name of the button

I never knew that existed (_visible)! You can also use _alpha and set it to 0 or 50 or whatever you want.
