imagedata and alpha byte

[Mike Bonner]

Already assuming that you know which pixel you wish to modify, (like if you
want to modify pixel 25 in pixel row 3, that would be pixel 75.. I
think..)  you would need to do something like the following..

--first, put the current alphadata into a variable.
put the alphadata of img "myImg" into tAlpha

-- then modify the alphadata for the pixel in question
put numtochar(0) into char 75  of tAlpha -- 0 is transparent, 255 is
completely opaque
-- change all necessary pixels here then
-- set the image to the new alphadata
set the alphadata of img "myImg" to tAlpha
