Hi guys,

How can I create a button that when you click on it will disappear for 10 to 20 sec then appear again?

Thanx

Dysan

```auto

on(release){
	hideMe = function(){
		if (buttonName._visible = !buttonName._visible) clearInterval(buttonName.timer);
	}
	clearInterval(buttonName.timer);
	buttonName.timer = setInterval(hideMe, 10000);
}

```

where buttonName is the instance name of the button this code was put on. After 10 seconds (10000 miliseconds), it will hide, then after another 10 it will reappear

[edit]  
actually I think I missread… you probably want it to disappear immediately 😉

```auto

on(release){
	buttonName._visible = false;
	showMe = function(){
		buttonName._visible = true;
		clearInterval(buttonName.timer);
	}
	clearInterval(buttonName.timer);
	buttonName.timer = setInterval(showMe, 10000);
}

```
