setProperty all instances

[firegambler]

hello,

please could you tell me if it is possible to make all instances of different symbols invisible via ONE button so that i don't have to write one script-part for every instance? (wanna use that for a submenu)

some kind of setProperty(all, _visible, "false"
or something like that (i hope that there is a solution as easy as that which came to my mind)

thanks 4 your efford

If your symbols were sequentially named, i.e. clip1 - clip2 - clip3, or something like that, you could use a for loop...

for (x=1; x<11; x++){
_root[&quot;clip&quot;+x]._visible = false;
} Regards,

sometimes one could just kick themselves when one sees how things work and one hasn't found the solution oneself.

thanks 4 your help, I appreciate that!!
