Hi,

I am quite new to Actionscript and am currently creating a page that contains a number of movie clips where when the mouse goes over the movie clips, the mc (which is a photo) enlarges on the screen.

Currently when I click a second mc the first mc is still visible and if the second photo is on a layer above the first photo then it’s enlarged image is in front of the first enlarged image. (does that make sense?)

I have tried a number of different functions to hide the current mc when a new one is clicked but I can’t find any that work. Can anyone help please?

Current script is (without any actions to hide the images as they didn’t work):

//mcBarbara  
mcBarbara.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OVER, playMovie1);

function playMovie1(evt:MouseEvent):void  
{  
mcBarbara.gotoAndPlay(mcBarbara);  
}

mcBarbara.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendEmail1);

function sendEmail1(evt:MouseEvent):void  
{  
sendToURL(new URLRequest(“[mailto:barbara.smith@companyname](mailto:barbara.smith@companyname)” ));  
}

//mcTrev  
mcTrev.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OVER, playMovie2);

function playMovie2(evt:MouseEvent):void  
{  
mcTrev.gotoAndPlay(mcTrev);  
}

mcTrev.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendEmail2);

function sendEmail2(evt:MouseEvent):void  
{  
sendToURL(new URLRequest(“[mailto:trevor.lynam@companyname](mailto:trevor.lynam@companyname)”) );  
}
