Chapter 7: Sprite Technology
To set the opacity of an object:
You can use either the Opacity slider in the Properties bar or Transparency palette.
1. Select the object whose opacity you want to change.
2. Drag the Opacity slider to the left to decrease opacity; drag to the right to increase opacity.
The opacity percentage appears at the right of the slider.
To set opacity for multiple objects:
Use the Opacity slider in the Properties bar to set the opacity for more than one object. Each
selected object will have the same opacity setting.
To adjust the opacity of a group object:
Use the Opacity slider in the Properties bar or in the Transparency palette, since a selected group
object is considered a single object. When a group object is selected, changing the opacity
applies to the group as a whole. Objects that were opaque do not become transparent to other
objects in the group if you reduce the opacity of the group object.
If you ungroup an object, the group opacity setting is removed and the opacity of each
separate object is restored.
