hi,

ive got a load of movieclips on the stage that i want to hide/reveal at certain frames.  
This is the code ive applied to the frame:  
stop();  
\_root.resitab\_mc.\_visible=false;  
\_root.officetab\_mc.\_visible=false;  
\_root.leisuretab\_mc.\_visible=false;  
\_root.urbantab\_mc.\_visible=false;  
\_root.officefitouttab\_mc.\_visible=false;

but none of them are hidden!!

whats wrong? im sure ive done this before.
