Trying To Add Semi-transparent Rollover Images

Hi everyone,

I am working with flash and have a .jpg imported as a file and I am trying to create some rollover hyperlinks on top of the image but I want to be able to have the actual buttons be somewhat transparent so that the background is still visible. If anyone has any ideas please give me a heads up. Thanks a lot.

?? drop whatever you want (button? image?)inside a movieclip and then just set the alpha in the properties, or change the fill alpha in the color mixer, or set it at runtime in actionscript by doing

clippath.clipname._alpha=xx%;//from anywhere

this._alpha=xx%;//as a frame script inside the containing clip

where xx = 0-100

hard to figure out what you actually mean - you want actual transparent images? or transparent buttons over a background image? any of the ways above will work for all, except the color mixer alpha and image combination.

all this is in the manual.......
