Question

Help with simple if / and _visible

I've got a number of layers in my fla. One of them has a watermark (its a mc) on it that shows if the account is not active. I have moved the code to the MC as a last resort as I for the life of me can't understand why I can't make this MC vanish when the value a "is_active" field is true. The values in the traces indicate the values are what I would expect. Someone please enlighten me.

Turns out the value was being cast as a string and causing the true/false problem. I tried every possible combination of if else just if etc. All set now.

well, the best you can hope for is repeatedly resetting that movieclip's _visible property to true and then false in the same loop. otherwise (when _level0.agent_is_active is false, it's always going to be true.

do you really want to use an if-else statement?
