Setting brightness

You can use variables defined in a data source to modify the brightness of movie clips and graphic symbols. Set Brightness adjusts the brightness percentage of the instance. You specify a percentage from -100 to 100. Positive values increase brightness; negative values reduce brightness. A value of 0 specifies no change to brightness.

To set the brightness of an instance:

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 Brightness from the pop-up menu.
5 Specify a variable for the Percent using the {variableName} syntax or specify a value from -100 to 100.
