Movieclip visibility problem in iOS

Hi

I was having a problem where movieclips that I set as visible = false; were initially showing up visible when my iOS app first starts up.

For anyone that is having the same problem, I found the way around it was to set their visiblity to false before addChild().

Cheers

Makes sense, the default when adding a child is probably visible = true so it would flicker for a second before it would be set to false, but a good tip.

Ahh - I should have mentioned - setting it to false AFTER addChild(), and during my start up, would not make the movieclip false at all. So I'd end up with a bunch on movieclips showing that shouldn't be.

This only happens when running it on the phone - it worked fine when running from Flash Pro.
