hi, i need help with a button, i did a " Tell target " and that works but what i want is to make is a buttton on the movie clip that the “tell target” opens and i want it to close the window or movie clip when you click on the button. So if some can help me out with the action script the would be great.

I think it’d be best if you give us something specific. That way we can all help each other faster…(and probably won’t tire out our very helpful moderators 🙂 ).
Be more specific with your questions!

that is just a simple button.
on(release){
this.\_visible = 0;
}
you can change this with \_parent.yourMCname or yourMCname or \_root.yourMCname. just remember to point it to where the movie clip you want to “close” is residing.
Also place a button that also controls its reappearance.
on(release){
this.\_visible = 1;
}
Refer to the attached file.
