title: Transparent jpeg images in Flash AS3
body: <p>Hi can anyone offer some help please ?  I have two images on my flash stage (A camera image and a scenery image) The idea is that the camera is in front of the scenery. The problem is although both images are on my stage the camera is completely transparent and looks wrong . How can I set the cannon image transparency so that it is a solid image on top of the background image . Thanks in advance for any tips !, Mick </p>
  
  <pre><code>    // add images 
  
  var cannon = new mc_cannon ;
  var backGround = new mc_scene ;        
  
  
  backGround.x = 200 ;
  backGround.y = 200 ; 
  addChild (backGround) ; 
  
  setChildIndex(cannon,numChildren - 1);
  cannon.alpha = 1 ;
  cannon.x = 200 ;
  cannon.y = 200 ; 
  addChild (cannon) ;
  </code></pre>
