Hide Mc (Very simple Question)

[xzerox_xzerox]

Hi

I've use this code to hide mc's

on (release) {
_root.mcName._visibility = false;
}

I have to use this command in a loaded movie called "bilder.swf". The problem is that i want to hide a movieclip in the original movie named "index.swf".

How can i do that? The movieclip in the original movie is called "page".

Should i use this code? Is the level of the original movie 0?

on (release) {
_level0.page._visibility = false;
}

I dont think you need to add the level in there. Did you create the movie clip "page" with actionscript?

[Chris_Seahorn]

level0 is _root

on (release) {
_root.page._visible = false;
}

thanks for the reply chris but it does not work... I don't think you understainds me:

I've got a movie named index.swf.
In index.swf i have a movieclip called page.
In "page" i have a button who loads a movie called bilder.swf
In bilder.swf i have a movieclip called bilder.
In "bilder" movieclip i've got a button.
With this button i want to hide "page" in the index.swf got it?

OK man...if you have a level0 anything in a script...it's from swish or flash object, example or movie. ...so revert to what you were doing and use the word.

"_visible"

and not

"visibility"

Had I known this kind of content was what we were dealing with instead of thinking you were using a command in KM that it doesn't utilize (flash supports), I would have stayed out of it....sorry.

[xzerox_xzerox]

still nothing... if i use the code:

on (release) {
_root.page._visible = false;
}

It does only hide my bilder.swf and not the "page" movieclip

bound to be just a naming issue.

[Chris_Seahorn]

_lockroot has to be enabled

You are able to edit this index.swf? ...it's Koolmoves? or a trapped flash swf(trapped as in you don't have the source code to index.swf) you want to manipulate from a loaded clip(binder)?

This is exactly why I hate mismatched content.....make it all Koolmoves or toss it I say

[tmoore935]

It seem like loadMovie and unload movie would work since a level could be added then removed by a button

As for mismatched content, I do it all the time.

example:

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("home.swf", 10);
}

Or

on (release) {
unloadMovieNum(10);
}

Didn't say you hated it...said I did. Do as you wish.

[tmoore935]

Didn't say you hated it...said I did. Do as you wish.

I was trying to give a different alternative. Thats all.

[bobgodwin]

Here's a shot at it.

And what's the difference between this:

on(release){_root.page._visible = 0;
}

And this:

on(release){setProperty("_root.page", _visible, "0");
}

Is one preferred?

[xzerox_xzerox]

thanks for all the replys guys... i solved it using an url and a _blank target...

look at www.vmgcomputers.com/uk and press "bilder" and "klicka här för att starta"

[xzerox_xzerox]

[ant_Z]

yea, it works now. Your site is very nice. I like it, but you could increase FPS, everything is so slow... ive go to wait... and i - and many other ppl - dont like to wait...

[xzerox_xzerox]

hum... i use 32 fps... i thought that was maximum for koolmoves?

[ant_Z]

no, i use 60 fps with usually 6 tweens pkf. 60 is the max value.

[xzerox_xzerox]

aha... but i think im gonna strick to 32...
