[COLOR=magenta]Hey ya’ll,[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]I have a simple tween on the timeline and when you click the button a picture should appear(and that works fine). I have a close button on the \_mc so I’ve tried using [/COLOR]

```auto

[COLOR=#0000ff]on[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]release[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]this[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000ff]_visible[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000] **false** [/COLOR];

```

doesn’t work.:puzzled:

my question is how do you close a movie clip??  
thanks guys!!!
