In a class I am loading a multi-layered movieclip (MC) that sits in the library by using its linkage (MCL):

```php
var myMc = new MCL();

```

Once I have the movieclip loaded, I want to make the “Invisible” layer invisible until later. So I use…

```php
myMc.Invisible.visible = false;

```

This results in:

[FONT=Courier New][FONT=Verdana]I’ve seen this work in tutorials but I cannot get it to work myself. Any suggestions?[/FONT][/FONT]
