I'm trying to use a timer to toggle the alpha of my hotspots between 0.500 and 1.000 every 0.5 seconds, so they have a "fading in and out" effect to subtly draw attention to them. It should be fairly simple but it just doesn't work. No matter what settings I change, the hotspot graphic just sits there fully visible. If I change the timer's target to other skin elements it works on those, just not on the hotspot. What am I doing wrong?

I figured it out. I was trying to have the timer affect the hotspot graphic directly. I was missing the extra step of creating a variable, as in this tutorial:

Thanks again Garden Gnome for creating an extremely versatile software package!
