Hi

I am making a mp3 player, and i would like to have a “lamp to flash”(movieclip if posible) when i pause the player. My action script is until now this:

[AS]  
var vol = new Sound();  
pause.onPress = function() {  
if (vol.getVolume() == 100) vol.setVolume(0);  
else vol.setVolume(100);  
};  
[/AS]

Please help, thank you.  
Bonna

Lap to Flash ? What do you mean by that ?

In the meanwhile, you can check out [www.kennybellew.com](http://www.kennybellew.com) for tutorials on all sorts of mp3 players 🙂

I what it to be somthing like this:  
[AS]  
myMC = show(false);  
pause.onPress = function() {  
myMC = show(true)  
};

[/AS]  
“Show();” is fictiv and i am looking for a real function that can hide and reviel, on button press !

Use the _\_visible_ property.

```auto
myMC._visible = true;//or false

```
