Hello there,

I am a noob in flash, so I need your help on something, 2 things:

1- I want initially to hide all the text movieclips that are located in individual frames inside box mc.

2 - I was just able to hide the text from the 1st frame with “box.text1.visible = false;” if i try “box.text2.visible = false” it doesn’t work.  
Any way I still have another problem here, the text1 on frame one when I run the flash, it’s not visible as I wanted, but if I click on other button and return back to my first position the text is now visible!

My initial idea was to have all text hidden and if I wanted to see it I would just click a button to show.

my sample “[ifinho.com/flashsample/sample.fla](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/ifinho.com/flashsample/sample.fla)”

Sorry for my English!

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks
