I have several “baloons” (mclip recatangle with text) that I need  
to show and hide based on what items are clicked in my screen.

On baloons mclip I have:

onClipEvent (load) {  
this.\_visible = 0;  
}

Those mc are on last frame of a mclip called “menuvideos”,  
inside another mclip called “clip”, on stage.

When you get a label, where “clip” is menuvideos run and in last frame  
is my “baloon” called baloon5.

But it load visible and then turns invisible (like a flash)…

Am I doing something wrong? I just need it to be invisible until I call it  
from a button to turn visible.
