RE: FLASH: Just beginning with ActionScript...

[Bawol, Brian]

Hi Sebastien,

Couple things...you need to make your 'visible=false' a 'visible==false' (2

equals signs)

Also, get rid of the Quotes around your "target" s.   This code should work

if I'm not explaining properly:


on (release) {

    if (target._visible==false) {

        setProperty (target, _visible, true);

    } else {

        setProperty (target, _visible, false);

    }

}



Ciao,

Brian

Subject: FLASH: Just beginning with ActionScript...



Hi all,

I'm trying to have a movie clip disappear when you press a

button... then reappear when you press the same button again.

so far it's *not* working... here's the actionscript

attached to my button.. what am I doing wrong? 


on (release) {

    if ("target"._visible=false) {

        setProperty ("target", _visible, true);

    } else {

        setProperty ("target", _visible, false);

    }


}

The name of the movie clip is "target".


Thanks,

S.
