Yeah, just apply this script to the object you want to hide:

```php
onClipEvent (load) {
	_visible = false;
}

```

umm… he means certain layers not objects!  
But I think you’re gonna have to hide the objects one-by-one… :-\

I knew what he meant, but it’s not possible to hide an entire layer so since he wanted something like an onClipEvent, that’s the best way I know is with the \_visible property.
