does anyone know how to make the background alpha in cs4?

[superjacku]

i couldnt find anything about alpha backgrounds on it...

Do you mean Alpha as in transparent/clear, or is it some action script thing???
Do you mean the background as in the stage, or as in the background you have made?

If you mean a background that you have made, you can...

Select the background (non symbol), open the color panel and drag the Alpha bar to your desire.
Or you can, select the background (symbol), and go to...

-properties panel
- Style
- Alpha

You can also tween from 0% to 100%. This can be useful for scene transitions and whatnot. I encourage you to be creative with this...

yea transparent and i need the actual stage to be alpha..

[Anamethatworks]

setting the stage's alpha would cause everything in it to become that alpha.. just so you know

_root._alpha = some number, should to it (as2)

Why? There is no reason for that. The background is the back - i.e. nothing will be behind it, and therefore its alpha is irrelevant. Also, what colour seeps through to affect the overall colour? None, so the alpha level would not make a difference.

If you make everything completely transparent, there would be no colour, and therefore you would see the colour of nothing - which is impossible as 'nothing' would have no colour.

if you want to make the background invisible, you have to add this option to the embed code in the html file that this is embedded in.
I never used that, nor can I remember the code, but it works fine.

look for it.

where's the problem embeding it? make it 100% width and height, that's it.
