No idea why this would occur. Unless I'm having a brain fart, you're doing everything right. > Also, say Bar contains many children - would all of these also > become alpha=0.3? I want them to all fade out... Yes, any kind of "color transform" (like alpha) or "spatial transform" (like scale, x, y, rotation) are concatenated down the DisplayList hierarchy. Note: the alpha value of your children will still be their original values, they're just multiplied by their parent's values when rendered. Troy.
