making a button that will change alpha of different object

Question

I'm creating pages with text supported by wav files for
training. on the bottom of the page is a progress bar.

I want to make a button that when clicked will permenantly
raise the alpha of a movie clip (on a different layer) to 100%. (it
is currently set to 0)

within the movie clip (hazpop) is a button that will turn the
alpha to zero (click to close window)

so in theory (not as2) it should be:
on mousedown alpha.hazpop=100

I've been combing the forums for days and no-one is talking
about alpha. any help is appreciated
thanks

You should refer to the Flash help docs for object properties like alpha and the like. There's plenty about them in there. For your situation, the timeline code for the button (say it has an instance name of hazBtn) would be:

hazBtn.onRelease = function(){
hazpop._alpha = 100;
}

This assumes the button and the movieclip reside in the same timeline
