I made a movie clip named carmask, and i wanted to hide it.  
In the first frame, i put this code:

onClipEvent (load) {  
Carmask.hide();  
}

But i doesn’t seem to work. What have i done wrong?

hide() is a method for the mouse object

```auto
Mouse.hide();

```

use the \_visible property

```auto
carmask._visible = false;

```
