Apply a blend mode

To apply blends to selected movie clips, use the Property inspector.

Note: You cannot apply different blend modes to different graphic symbols because multiple graphic symbols are merged as a single shape when
you publish the SWF file.

1. Select the movie clip instance (on the Stage) to apply a blend mode to.

2. To adjust the color and transparency of the movie clip instance, use the Color pop-up menu in the Properties panel.

3. Select a blend mode for movie clips from the Blend pop-up menu in the Properties panel. The blend mode is applied to the selected movie

clip instance.

4. Verify that the blend mode you selected is appropriate to the effect you’re trying to achieve.

Experiment with both the color and transparency settings of the movie clip and the different blend modes to achieve the desired effect.
