[Flash - PV3D 2.0] Setting Alpha to an object?

[bpops]

Hi all,

I'm a relative beginner in Flash and Papervision 3D, but So far I've been working with adding text to a plane, and then animating the plane. Everything works great so far.

 

Now, what I want to do is have the plane fade away to completely transparent. I'm having trouble, because I can not figure out how to change the alpha of a plane (or any 3d object).

 

Here's what I've done:

 

- Create a text field

- Create a movie clip, add the text field to the movieclip

- Create a MovieMaterial, add the movieclip to it

- Create the plane with the moviematerial

 

So Now I want to tell the movie material to start fading at some point, but since It's already been added to the plane, I can't figure it out.

 

Thanks for the help
