Silly question

I cant hide a variable on a clip:

I have a clip who display this :

Name : [name]
Address : [address]
Phone : [phone]

if I want to hide the phone number, how I can do that ?

I’ve tried this :

phone._visible = False

but it doesn’t work.

:frowning:

well …

_visible is a property [size=1]MovieClip._visible Button._visible TextField._visible[/size] so i don’t think you can do that

you’d need to either delete or clear the variable:

delete phone;
// or
phone = "";
3

or try to put a mask over it, because i dont think you’d want to actually delete the variable…
but why would you want to hide it if you display it ?
other take the length of the string and replace it by *s…

I explain why I will hide this variable :

  1. The same movie can be viewed by user and admin.

  2. Admin can view all variables displayed, and User can view only [name] & [address]. I dont want they can view the [phone].

  3. my variables are loaded with the command “Loadvariablenum”

  4. I have a global variable who say it’s a user or an admin is currently showing the movie.

I have tried to delete phone but it doesn’t work after my loadvariablenum . I have tried phone = “”; but it doesn’t work to.

I am desesperate… :frowning:

try to put the variables into a MC and hide the MC with a setProperty :wink:

Use an if statement.

[AS]if (user == admin){
phone = “number here”;
} else {
phone = “Must be Admin”;
}[/AS]

You check if the user is admin, and if that is true, the phone number shows, but if its false, the phone number box shows “Must be Admin”
