I used to play around with flash during the early days of action script 1.  
but now i can’t seem to find my way around it. Used to be able to add the script to the button itself.

here is my problem.

I have 2 object movie clip instance  
object\_red and object\_blue

and I have 2 buttons  
show\_switch and hide\_switch

what I want to do is to have a toggle button show and hide  
the objects on the movie.

how do i do this? please help.  
thank you
