This tip comes after experimenting with 2Create a SuperStory - another 2Simple creation. If you have elements on the screen (apples / monsters / suns) that you want to appear faded on screen, then you can use Actionscript code in one of two places.
(1) You can right click on an element and enter
this._alpha=xx;
where xx is a value from 0 (see through) - 100 (solid) in the animation -> ADV section. However this is only useful if you want the element to remain stationary throughout the activity, as this code overrides any animation properties you have given the element (unless you want to start fiddling with additional code to create movement)
(2) Right click the green play button and enter
s2._alpha=xx;
where xx is a value from 0 (see through) - 100 (solid). This will allow elements to keep their animation properties. However, you will need to know the id of the element (the 's' value), and these can be found on this page of the archive (towards the bottom of the article)
You can see in the example below how one butterfly appears much more faded than the other.
