Hello

I have a problem with the movieclips visible = false. I have one movieclip named: mcquestion.  
I’ve put the another movieclips (mc\_div) inside that mcquestion movieclip. I don’t know whether i can do like that or not because I am only the beginner to flash :).  
And the problem I have is I want to set the visible properties of the inner movieclip of mcquestion, mc\_div, to false in some condition.  
Here is the code line that i’ve tried and it doesn’t work.  
Please advice me how should i do that. 🙂

\_root.mcquestion.mc\_div.visible= false;

Please kindly help me with my problem.  
Waiting for yr reply.

Regards,  
Win.
