If you have movie clips with instance names mcblackmask1, mcblackmask2,

and mcblackmask3 and you want to target a random one, then I believe

your tell target code should be (can't swear to it without trying it

though):


   Begin Tell Target ("/mcblackmask"&myboxes)

        Set Property ("/mcblackmask"&myboxes, Visibility) = 0

   End Tell Target

I think you're right about this.  I'm still learning all the ins and

outs of actionscript myself, but I'll publish a list of what I've found

once I get it figured out if no one else has already!
