Heya, I am using an XML gallery thanks to [SIZE=2]Josh from [2210media.com](http://2210media.com)[/SIZE]

I am trying to hide a movie clip if the description node is left empty in the xml.

```auto
if (information = !null) {
      infoBtn._visible = true;
      } else {
      infoBtn._visible = false;
      }

```

doesn’t work :deranged:

anyone know what to do??
