:h:i’m sorry, i’m kinda new in As3…  
i am loading an external swf into my stage by as3. i call it InfoPg.  
and i have a menu movieclip on the stage.  
i need to make the InfoPg invisible when one of the menu options are pressed…  
i tried something like root.InfoPg.alpha=0;  
well, it doesn’t work, i really hope u understand my problem, i just can’t controll this “outside” movieclip.  
hope someone here will help me with this…
