Alpha Problem

[beno]

Hi;

I have this code:

 

function WatchMovements()

{

watchMovements.x = 0;

watchMovements.y = 0;

watchMovements.alpha = 1;

watchMovements.scaleX = watchMovements.scaleY = .5;

var watchMovements_container:Sprite = new Sprite();

addChild(watchMovements_container);

watchMovements_container.addChild(watchMovements);

var watchMovements_timeline:TimelineMax = new TimelineMax();

watchMovements_timeline.append(new TweenLite(watchMovements_container, 1, {x: stage.stageWidth/1.5, alpha: .7}));

}

 

Now, if I initially set the alpha to, say, .7 instead of 1, the image will further fade to .7 squared when the tween is applied. My problem is I need to set the initial alpha to 0, which means I can't multiply it high enough to get anything over 0. What do?

TIA,

beno

I don't understand your question. If you set the container's alpha to 0, you certainly cannot expect to see anything inside that container regardless of what alpha those internal objects have.

Another boner. Should have set the container's alpha to 0. Sorry again.
