I load vars from TXT and I woul like to use one var for setting visibility of one mc on the stage.  
In TXT I have this argument:

```php
var_navMenuTextVisible=false

```

I assume that than I get following code on the keyframe:

```php
nav_menu._visible = myVars.var_navMenuTextVisible;

```

Maybe I do it too complicated, have you any suggestion?  
Thanks
