I’d like to have one button to use for hiding and unhiding movie clips. I think I’m having an issue with my if statement. I can get the button to hide the movie clip, but can’t get it to work on unhiding the movie clip. Here’s the code:

on(release)  
{  
mc.\_visible = false;

```
if (mc._visible = false) {

```

mc.\_visible == true;  
}  
}

The code has only worked on hiding the movie clip. I just can’t make it unhide after you click the button again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
