Is there a way in an HTML 5 pub to change a button's opacity/transparency for example from 100% opacity to 50% opacity?

What I am trying to accomplish: when the user clicks the fully opaque button, which triggers an animation, would like the button to fade to 50% opacity (remain visible, but less distracting @50% while the animation runs).

I've tried Opus script, based on the following, but this doesn't work for HTML 5 pubs.

Hi Stephen. I would create whatever button shape you need with the OPUS drawing tool then within the polygon properties of the drawn shape > vector fill tab > check the transparency check box area and then slide transparency percentage to the desired setting.
you can assign triggers/ settings to the shape with the same functionality as a button created in opus.
I hope this helps or spark another idea.

0.5 not 50 (that's the fade function)

Unfortunately, in this HTML 5 pub, even when I correctly script the button (button1.SetTransparency(0.5)), publish, the button when clicked doesn't become 50% transparent.

Does transparency, scripted into a JS or script object for a button (button is created as a frame with an image and text), work in HTML 5 pubs? Or is it an unsupported feature for HTML 5?

Works fine in HTML5.

Created button - called it button1.

Added OpusScript action to button left click trigger with the follow line:

Yes, tried it again, and this time it works! Apologies.

Thank you.

It'll be all that snow.

So far, I'm a little east of that part of New York that got the "lake effect snow" in the few feet (yes, feet) range. Think Buffalo, New York. Here, we've had a dusting but nothing that didn't melt.

Looking forward, I think we're in for a long, cold and snowy winter even where I live. Ugh!
