Well...okay. First of all can I suggest using load movie for the little

window m.c.? I feel like it is a cleaner way to do this, you might be

doing it like that already. And then...

it doesn't seem like what you want to do is difficult... but instead of

messing around with visibility=0, why don't you just make each data

telltarget have 2 frames, one with the data, and one with an empty

frame. That way you can just use tell target commands with a go to

frame, depending on whether the data should be shown or not. 

>From what you have said, it _seems_ like this would work for you...I may

not have understood exactly what you are trying to do...anything else,

just ask, and I'll do my best!

Well, hope I helped!
