I trying to build a loop so that One MC won’t play untill the other MC has \_visible = false. This delay would alow my one MC to play it’s close animation before the next called for MC would play its opening animation. I will PM a zipped FLa to anyone who wants to see the set up I have so far.

PS I tried:  
do{  
\_root.loading.\_visible = true;  
while{(\_root.window1.\_visible = true)  
\_root.window2.\_visible = true;  
\_root.window2. gotoAndPlay (2);

And it caused my compuer to come up with a warning saying the code would take a long time to execute do you want to abort.:-\

I would just use  
if(mymovieclip.\_visible = false) {  
do something;  
}

Put the test in an enterFrame. If you put it in a do while loop, you’ll stay on the same frame all the time, hence the error message.
