K so I have a movieclip called 'player' and within that movieclip i have one called 'close'.

on 'close' I have the following AS :


on (release) {
this._parent._visible = false;
}


why isnt this working? I feel so dumb because it's such a small bit of code :/
I tried accessing it though '_root.player' as well, that didnt work either.

well is the close bit a movieclip or a button cos the code you showed will only work if its a button if its a movieclip it needs to be


close.onRelease = function(){
this._parent._visible = false;
}
and it needs to be in a frame not on the movieclip

**edit** Okay, the parented mc,'player' is draggable. When I commented out the code that makes it draggable the button to make it invisible.'close' worked.

I guess it makes sense, what's happening is the on release function I have for 'player' is overwritting the 'close's on release function.

So.. how can i get them both to work (and yes, the 'close' mc needs to be in the 'player' mc)
