Hi Norman... I'm trying to create an applet to display a few images(jpg and gif) which overlap each other and all have certain values of transparency. What i got from most of the tutorials in the web just teach us how to set Alpha(transparency) values to drawing shapes. So, i really have no idea how i can change the alpha values of the image files. Can you please tell me how i can do this? Thanks a lot!

Please use html tags to format code blocks.
