ALPHA question...

[GODCORE]

I am trying to change the alpha of an object on another frame. The usual ._alpha = 0; isn't working, ive even tried using ._root, Is it not possible to change the alpha of an object through action script unless the object is on the same key frame as the action script? I thought any object could be changed as long as you put ._root if its not local. Its hard to explain this sorry.

There has to be an instance of the object on the current frame that the code is running on.

if you are using it on the frame's actions then you don't need to have _root. you can just call your objects alpha
object._alpha=0;
