[SOLVED] How to access alpha property of a MovieClip exported from Flash?

#1

hi,

i am trying to add some fade in effect to my menu items with Actuate .

the menu items are objects of a Class [MovieClip exported from Flash] , the problem is i am not getting alpha prop:
to make it fade.

        for (i in 0...menuArray.length)
		{
			var navItem:MenuItem = new MenuItem();
			navItem.name = menuArray[i];
			navItem.x = navItem.width * i;
			navItem.y = 10;
			navItem.setText(menuArray[i]);
			**navItem.alpha = 0;**
			navItem.buttonMode = true;
			navItem.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onNavHandler);

			Actuate.tween(navItem, 1, { **alpha: 1**, y: 0 } ).ease(Quad.easeIn).repeat().reflect();
			
			menuContainer.addChild(navItem);
		}

i also noticed that i can’t access it in the Main class too or any class which is extending Sprite or MovieClip.
what to do ? plz help :slight_smile:
Thanks

Which version of OpenFL are you using? What do the imports at the top of each file look like (for importing MovieClip and Sprite). What is the error?
