Hiding layers and buttons with Actionscript

Hi,

Can anyone help?

I need to either:

Hide a button instance (that is not a movie clip) ie render invisible using AScript

Or

Hide a layer using Ascript


I am sure it is very easy....

Thanks very much

click on the button, go to insert>convert to symbol
(even thought its already a button) and convert it to a movie clip.this wont affect the button. right-click on the button, which is now in a movie clip, and select actions.
type this in

onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
this._alpha = 0;
}

this makes its alpha go to 0...as you can see. this works too:

onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
this._visible = false;
}

either one should work. good luck.
