Setting transparency

You can use variables defined in a data source to modify the alpha transparency of movie clips and graphic symbols, specifying a percentage of 0 to 100.

To set the alpha channel:

1 Create a movie clip or graphic symbol and place an instance of the symbol on the Stage.
2 Make sure the Generator inspector is displayed by choosing Window > Inspectors > Generator.
3 Select the symbol instance.
4 In the Generator inspector, choose Set Alpha from the pop-up menu.
5 Specify a variable for the Percent using the {variableName} syntax or specify a value from 0 to 100.
