setting visibilty for a mc inside an mc

[agevans]

Hello,

I am having trouble with the file attached.
I am trying to have a dragable movie clip that has an invisible mc inside it (so that it is moved with the main mc).
I then want a button on the maintime line to turn on the mc so that it is visible. Do I need to work in levels? Is that why it is not talking to the mc inside the mc?

on (press) {
_root.test._alpha = 0;
}

You have to target the timeline your MC is on.

on (press) {
myMainMC.myMCinside._alpha = 0;
}

Look at your code again. That is setting the alpah to 0. Try:

on (press) {
_root.test._alpha = 100;
}

Thank you!
I always seem to make things more complicated that they need be.
