MovieClip 447
Methods inherited from class Object
_alpha (MovieClip._alpha property)
public _alpha : Number
The alpha transparency value of the movie clip. Valid values are 0 (fully transparent) to 100
(fully opaque). The default value is 100. Objects in a movie clip with
_alpha set to 0 are
active, even though they are invisible. For example, you can still click a button in a movie clip
whose
_alpha property is set to 0. To disable the button completely, you can set the movie
clip's
_visible property to false.
You can extend the methods and event handlers of the MovieClip class by creating a subclass.
