How do I change the opacity in Flash?

Published in Adobe Animate Basics 1 min read

To change the opacity of an object in Flash (now Adobe Animate), you'll adjust its Alpha value. The Alpha value controls the transparency; a lower value makes the object more transparent, while a higher value makes it more opaque.

Here's how you can do it:

  1. Select the Object: Choose the object you want to modify on the stage.
  2. Access the Properties Panel: Locate the "Properties" panel. If it's not visible, go to Window > Properties.
  3. Adjust the Alpha Value: In the "Color Effect" section of the Properties panel, you'll find a dropdown menu. Select "Alpha." Use the slider or enter a numerical value (from 0 to 100) to adjust the opacity.
    • 0: Completely transparent (invisible).
    • 100: Completely opaque (fully visible).
  4. Experiment: Adjust the Alpha value and observe the changes in the object's appearance on the stage in real-time.

In summary, manipulating the "Alpha" value within the "Color Effect" settings in the Properties panel allows you to easily control the opacity of objects in Flash/Adobe Animate.
