Hey guys/gals I was wondering if you could please help me with an AS3 problem? I have a button that currently when pressed will show an instance object on screen, however what I would like for it to do WHEN PRESSED AGAIN is to remove it just like every other application. AM I right in thinking that would be a conditional, an “if” statement (I’m not sure I haven’t done AS1 in 5 years let alone A3). Any help is appreciated - thank you in advance. 🙂

My Current Code:

Help\_Btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, HelpDisplay);

function HelpDisplay(event:MouseEvent):void  
{  
var Help\_MyInstance:LibrarySymbol = new LibrarySymbol();  
addChild(Help\_MyInstance);

Help\_MyInstance.x = 92.70;  
Help\_MyInstance.y = 46.70;  
Help\_MyInstance.border = false;  
Help\_MyInstance.width = 372.20;  
Help\_MyInstance.height = 220.75;

}
