Okay I am using four radio buttons.  
Each button has code on it to say that if it’s value is true, certain movie clips visibility is supposed to become false.  
I have one movie clip that is placed directly on the time line, but about 50 frame down from where the components are place on the timeline-

It is not setting the visibility to false on this movie clip, is it because it will not apply it to a clip that is not yet used?

code:  
\<hr\>  
function checkradio() {  
if (radiogroup.getValue() == “a.”) {  
\_root.default\_al.\_visible = false;  
\_root.al\_waiting.\_visible = false;  
\_root.question\_window1.\_visible = true;  
\_root.attachMovie(“nosignal”,“nosignalnew”,2) ;  
nosignalnew.\_x = 860;  
nosignalnew.\_y = 460;   
}  
else if (radiogroup.getValue() == “b.”) {  
\_root.default\_al.\_visible = false;  
\_root.al\_waiting.\_visible = false;  
\_root.question\_window1.\_visible = true;  
\_root.attachMovie(“alclapping”,“alclappingnew”,2) ;  
alclappingnew.\_x = 860;  
alclappingnew.\_y = 390;  
}  
else if (radiogroup.getValue() == “c.”) {  
\_root.default\_al.\_visible = false;  
\_root.al\_waiting.\_visible = false;  
\_root.question\_window1.\_visible = true;  
\_root.attachMovie(“nosignal”,“nosignalnew”,2) ;  
nosignalnew.\_x = 860;  
nosignalnew.\_y = 460;  
}  
else if (radiogroup.getValue() == “d.”) {  
\_root.default\_al.\_visible = false;  
\_root.al\_waiting.\_visible = false;  
\_root.question\_window1.\_visible = true;  
\_root.attachMovie(“alnoslot”,“alnoslotnew”,2) ;  
alnoslotnew.\_x = 1085;  
alnoslotnew.\_y = 530;  
}  
}
