Hi,

I’ve go this project: There is 3 swf that load ontop of each other.

1st swf – no problem

2nd swf = has main mc on it, which needs to be hiden and shown when needed.

3rd swf – merchants.swf what I want is to show the mc main that is one swf lower on the 2nd swf.

I used:

on (press) { 
   if (_parent.merchants._visible) { 
   trace(“brandon”); 
   main._visible = true;
  } 
}

I think I have a levels issue, but I don’t know how to get the code to get to the main mc? Can anyone help with finding main mc?

Thanks

Try using the _levelx property, or _root and accessing it directly.

Does anyone know how to get down a swf?

To control a swf that is loaded underneath a top swf.
From the Top swf button must make a MC on the bottom swf become visible.

Can you control a swf that is loaed underneath?

If you have 3 SWF's:

1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf

You can access 3.swf if it's loaded into 2.swf(which is loaded into 1.swf) using _level2, I believe. I'm not at home right now so I can't do any testing.

from what i am understanding you are not having a visibility issue but a levels issue. if you want to place a MovieClip on top of another one on command because it is currently underneath the MovieClip you have to use what is called swapDepths(). Here is how you use it:

// name 2 movieclips clip1 and clip2
// on a blank place this code
clip1.swapDepths(clip2)

If clip1 is on level5 and clip2 is on level78, those 2 movieclips will exchange depths. you can also use swapDepths() by passing a level number into the function.

clip1.swapDepths(22)
// clip1 is now on level22

Hope that helps,
Charles

disregarding the problem,

I'm trying _visible = false;
and getting the error
Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler

any idea's?
