problems viewing movies with movies

[johnnyv]

Hello
here is my problem. I am creating a website made up of 3 flash movies all visable at the same time. one of the movies 100 pixels in hieght. when the user clicks a button I would like a blue coloured symbol to slide up from below the MC and cover the contents of the movie clip. My problem is that when I publish the site I can see the blue symbol sitting below the MC. I don't want this.

I am not sure if I am expalining it properly

so lets try again

If I create a MC 100 pixels in hieght and place it on another movie clip say 500 pixels in hieght how do I force Flash to only show the first 100 pixels of the first MC and not the contents that reside on out side of the MC?

again I hope I have explained myself

thanks for any replys

 

[billwatson]

give the blue symbol an instance name and set its visible property to false

to the frame actions

blue._visible = false;

add to the buton code

blue._visible = true;

thanks Bill

I will give this a try. when I make the visablity of the symbol set to true will its visablity be restricted to the 100 pixel area of the MC?

thanks again
