Discussion

You can create the effect of brightening or lightening a movie clip instance by applying a brightness percentage to it. The default value for brightness is 0%, which represents the original colors. As the percentage increases, the colors get lighter and lighter until, at 100%, all the colors are completely white. You can access an instance's brightness settings by selecting the instance and then choosing the Brightness option from the Color Styles menu in the Property inspector. After you have selected the Brightness option, the control for selecting/entering the percentage appears to the right of the Color Styles menu.
