Hello boys and girls!

I have four Image objects that must be transparent until I press a corresponding button. When the related button is pressed, the image reappears while any others become transparent.

Use two Image Objects, one with transparency enabled, the other with it disabled. Then just show one and hide the other, or vice versa.

Usually the term transparent is used to describe an image which has transparent properties but is visible, however it sounds like you actually meant to ask about making items visible and invisible...

If I read your question right you just need to add a PAGE>HIDE OBJECT and PAGE>SHOW OBJECT action to the necessary button so that it reveals and hides your objects where appropriate.

Sure, I've attached a very simple one, obviously you can extend this to meet your specific needs. Just run the demo and click the "Image 1" text object (I just used text objects but the exact same actions apply to image or hotspot objects too) to see the functionality...

Yeah I should probably read that stuff my own self no doubt, but Mick Jagger lied to me, time is not on my side... A blatant bloody lie.

Oops, wait a minute. I just listened to the song again, turns out he said time was on his side, not mine. My apologies to Mr. Jagger for any previous accusations...
