Alpha by actionscript

[simonWMC]

I want to put an invisable button over an image. I can do this by setting the alpha to 0. I would like to do this with actionscript in order to keep my filesize down.

i used

setproperty(instancename._alpha = 0)

but it didn't work. Is it because it is a button ?

thanx in advance

on frame 1 put:

button._visable = 0; Regards

[billwatson]

setstyleproperty.instancename("alpha",0);

 

[oldnewbie]

setProperty("test", _alpha, "30"

Or...

test._alpha = 30;


Or, simply just put some shape in the "hit" state of the button (nothing in the other states), no point in playing with it's alpha! The hit state is not visible. Regards,

"test" being the instance name of course! Regards,
