I have a movieclip called bg\_mc. I don’t want bg\_mc to show up until I click the btn. When I click the btn it will perform a wipe.

Currently I have bg\_mc on stage because I need to access its instance name. I can’t remember how to create an instance name in AS3. Please HELP!

import fl.transitions._;  
import fl.transitions.easing._;

click\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadBg);

function loadBg(evt:MouseEvent):void {  
TransitionManager.start(bg\_mc, {type:Wipe, direction:Transition.IN, duration:1, easing:Strong.easeOut, startPoint:4});  
}
