FLASH: variables and visibility...Oh my

[Jamin Shoulet]

Hello once again..the lost new yorker has risen from his little hole in the

frustration of not being able to figure stuff out.


I know I'm close...its always somehting small and silly that gets you down.

I'm loading a set of variable from a seperate txt file and I have a

loadvariable function on a keyframe as follows:


loadVariablesNum ("var.txt", 0);

if (movie1==2) {

    setProperty ("movie1", _visible, "False");

}


Movie is the variable and the name of the movie clip target....guess what?

movie1 aint disapearing from the screen....hows my syntax?  am I missing

something? By the way...the set property function are not currently

expressions...


any help would be great


Jamin
