Okay i two movie clips on my main stage (scene 1) one of them is

aboutus

the other one is

gallery_1

In the first frame of the scene is says :

aboutus.visible=false;

Now in the movieclip gallery_1 in the first frame has a conditional statement.

in that conditional statement I want to be able to make this happen:

aboutus.visible=true;

when i added that line of code i get an

1120: Access of undefined property aboutus.

Does the clip exist in the frame that you’re changing it’s visibility?

yeah if that clip is not existant until a later frame then you will get that message..

its like trying to access a variable before you declare it

what do you mean. I create the turn it to false in frame like 10… the movie clip the has the code in it to turn it true is loaded in frame 15…

my issue is this.. I have code in the Scene 1 that makes it false.. I have a movie clip in scene one with code in the movie clip that makes it true.. How do i get it to work? The reason is i need my menu not to be visible till after a certain effect takes place inside the movie clip.

THANKS
