Visibility

When the about or any other button (besides the home button) is pressed, a movie clip plays and the visibility is set for the 3thirty logo (instance named Logo) to false so it will not be able to be seen. But for some reason the logo does not become invisible. Can anyone help?
the .fla is at

When using text in a tween (zoom in on your 3thirty), you need to make that text dynamic and embed the font used.
Do that, and your text will be set to be invisible. Regards,

What do u mean embed the font?

You still on 5 or now on MX? Regards,

MX, I made the text dynamic and it looks funky now

 

[oldnewbie]

Funky?

Hit the Character tab in the textfield's properties, and select Embed All... Regards,

Ok I did what you said, and it still does not work. Just to let you know it was working fine about a week ago, before i updated the site and somthing might have happened but now it does not make the Logo, invisible.

p.s. what does embedding fonts do?

I think the actionscript might be the problem.
when i first completed the .swf, it was in flash 5 and then i opened it in mx, is there a difference in the action script? cause it is not reading this code
"with (_root.Logo) {
_visible = false;
}"

Change the instance name of your logo clip, to "test" or whatever, and change your references to it in all your scripts. It doesn't seem to like the "Logo" instance name.

That's what I did here, but only on the staff button and home after hitting staff.
