ok super newbie question

hi everyone

well i came here for a little help ( duh ) and i know this seems like a very stupid question but how do you esit the transperty of a image without using that _alpha stuff (cuz that stuff is way over my head ) but my friend showed me how but he did it way to fast then he left me alone :P

thats all i really need to know, sorry for it being sutch a stupid question. thank you for your help

You can edit the alpha of an image by right clicking on it and going into properties. Then you will need to click on the color tab and there you'll find Alpha. Or put your image in a movie clip and in its actions panel type:

onClipEvent (load) {
this._alpha = 50;
}

Below is an .fla with a scripted version.

it worked yay thank you!

My pleasure. You'll get the hang of it.

sorry to be a bother, but i have another question. When ever i *** music to my flash. the music keeps playing long after the flash is dont, could you please tell me how to stop the music at the end of the flash, thanks

If you're not loading the sound file dynamically or attaching it through the library, the easiest way would be to put the following code in a keyframe at the end of your movie.

stopAllSounds();
