alpha

Any ideas on how to create a cover that has alpha 100 but is able to let a button behind it be touched, and an action to be called.

i dont want to apply the action to the cover, nor change the buttons image - as a convaluted set up is required for each one.

any ideas? what im after is effective not a see-through button, but a touch through button...

Cheers in advance guys
