How to pop up an object and make the rest darker

When the user of my game loses, I want a Game Over image I made to appear, but the rest of the screen go slightly darker (like when pausing), but I don't want to pause the movement from behind.
Or should I only create a 960x640px square with opacity? That would do the trick too I guess ;)

    yeah have a actor take up the whole screen with a alpha of 0 and a black color. WHenever yo u trigger the game over also trigger that actor to change its alpha to .7 or something

    cheers

    Thanks, I was about to ask what variable was it; but now I know it's Alpha :)

    You could do this with a single image that you made in photoshop. Do the game over text on a top layer and then do a solid black on a layer below and set it to 50% opacity, then save out to a 24bit png with transparence through the web save. It is then just a case of making the whole thing visible and the 50% portion of the image will partially mask the elements behind it, while the text will be solid.
