How to change a textfields alpha in Actionscript 3.0
Feb 15th
I am writing this tutorial for anyone who is having any issues with changing the alpha channel with actionscript. I’m gonna show you how. This might seem pretty straight forward at first, I mean I thought it was, but you actually can’t just start changing the alpha property without first setting its blendMode. This sometimes gets overlooked in tutorials.
First import the BlendMode Class into your document.
import flash.display.BlendMode;

var myTextField:TextField = new TextField();
myTextField.blendMode = BlendMode.LAYER;
There it is fellas. Easy Breezy. Now you can change the alpha of the myTextField
