Re: FLASH: Hiding buttons

[Wil Roboly]

One solution which I know works, but might change any actionscripts you have

is to place the button inside a movieclip. Then, by setting the movieclip's

visibility, you can hide and show the button.


Alternatively, you could have each state of the button (up, down, over) be

movieclips themselves with two frames each. One being visible the second

beind empty. Then, by doing the same to the HIT area you could tell target

to step from frame 1 to frame 2 on all four movieclips or simply the up and

hit frames and the button will disappear. This second alternative requires a

little more coding, but at least your not changing the buttons relative

layer position from the main timeline.
