Some help...

[Tanktunker]

I looked on google to no avail.
I need AS code for making a layer appear and/or disappear.
A speedy and/or thurough answer will merit XCash.
Thanks.

I don't understand the question (even though I probably wouldn't be of any help anyway). Could this be solved using the visible function?

A whole layer?
umm... turn everything in the layer in to a movie clip. then use the "_visible = false" statement.

Only way I know of.

[Tanktunker]

I'll try that and get back to you.
And yes, a whole layer.

EDIT:Not working, If I named my Movie Clip "Movie", would I be writing "Movie_visible = false"?

After you make the movieclip you have to give it a instance name of whatever you want to call it with like Movie. After you click on it the instance name is under Properties. After you gave it a instance name of Movie you would call it like these
Movie._visible = false;
You can also use alpha to make it appear to fade in or fade out.
Movie._alpha = 50;
That would make it see through. Half visible and half invisible, seeing it 0 would be the same thing as setting the visible to false or seeing it to 100 would be the same as setting visible to true:)

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: Statement must appear within on handler
Most._alpha = 0

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

The instance name for the movie clip was Most, it was on layer 2.
The button was on layer 1.
What's wrong here?

you can also use :

setProperty(Movie,_visible,0)

Note :
If you don't use setProperty it sometimes doesn't work on older versions of the flash player.

[Tanktunker]

Same problem.

[denacioust]

Put it inside an onclipevent handler...

[Tanktunker]

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances
onClipEvent(Movie0._visible = False)

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

God I'm troublesome, aren't I?

[denacioust]

You musta turned it into a button or a graphic, break it apart (ctrl+b, i think) and then convert it to a movie clip

[Tanktunker]

The properties panel says "Movie Clip".

[denacioust]

Where are you putting the script in the clip or the frame?

[Tanktunker]

In the button.

[denacioust]

I thought you said it was a movie clip...it should be a movie clip

[Tanktunker]

I want a button to be pressed and then a layer will disappear.

[denacioust]

Oh right...well put the action after an onPress action...

[Tanktunker]

Works!
Thanks alot!
