Quote - Just click on the small key symbol right to "visible" and Poser will create a dial to turn visibility on/off. (Introduced in Poser 7, I think.)

This is how an Animated Transparency dial seems to work for me, on props, and in P6. I don't know about on figures, or later in versions on Poser.

The transparency dial will be called "Preview_PoserSurface_7", and will work fine on the rendered image. The effect of a change on the dial will not show in preview... Unless you enter then leave the material room, which will cause a refresh of the material status in preview mode.

Setting the material to transparent is not in itself sufficient to make the material invisible. For preview you need to have Transparency Display set to 'Actual' in the Render Preview settings. For preview or render you need to have Transparency_Falloff set to zero (the default is 0.6), and the Specular_Value set to zero (default is 1.0).
