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:
- Select the Object: Choose the object you want to modify on the stage.
- Access the Properties Panel: Locate the "Properties" panel. If it's not visible, go to Window > Properties.
- 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).
- 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.
