Hi all,

Can anyone tell me why the following code doesnt work? Ive created a button with the below code in. When the button is clicked I want mts (mountains) to appear on screen, and when the button is clicked again I want them to be hidden.

Ive used “\_root.mts.\_visible = false;” in the first frame to initially set it to hide.

on (release) {

if (\_root.mts.\_visible = true) {   
\_root.mts.\_visible = false;   
}else {   
\_root.mts.\_visible = true;

```
}

```

}

thanks,

Claire
