Actionscript to turn layers on/off with buttons. 1

[irate]

I have a load of layers. (More than 20) And one or two layers with buttons and checkboxes.
What is the best actionscript to make each button/checkbox turn on/off a layer.
ie. when you click button one, layer one becomes invisiable then when you click it again the layer becomes visable again...

hi

You can't turn layers on and off. What you would have to do is put your content into movie-clips, then you can use the 'swapdepth' or 'instancename._visible=0' and 'instancename._visible=1' actions.

Or, you could create a single movie-clip with each of the 'layers' cut/pasted into successive frames of the movie-clip and then use the instancename.gotoandstop(framenumber) action on your buttons.

I'm in a bit of a rush at the minute but if you need more clarification on this (the Help files should explain the coding) just ahout.
