hitArea hide movie clip

Are you thinking that just assigning a variable called hide will make this go away? That won't work. There has to be someplace where you do something based on the value of hide?

It seems like a silly question, but it really isn't. How do you know this isn't working? Are you tracing the value of hide?

and it shouldn't work.

on what timeline do you use hide?

ok im understanding

"guardia" is the instance name of the mc also is a layer on scene 1
"quienes" is the instance name of the mc that is inside a mouse over buttom that is on scene 1

the action (the code) is inside frame 1 that is in other layer on scene 1


I try these as you said:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.guardia.hitTest(_root.quienes)) {
guardia.hide =true;
} else {
guardia.hide =false;
}
}

but still doesnt work

yes, i meant hide. and as implied previously, if you're trying to use hide outside the scope of that movieclip, you can't just use "hide": you'll need something like:

yourMCInstanceName.hide;

I think he means where is "hide" used.

If guardia and quienes are both on the _root timeline then that code should correctly assign the hide value. You say it "doesn't work" but you haven't really told us what doesn't work and how you know it doesn't work.

sorry i dont understand what you are asking could you ber so kind to be more extensive in your question so i could give you more information

thanks,

where is hit used?

the code is attach to the movieclip called guardia and a the other one is a clip called quienes. There is no syntax error but i dont know whats going on

in

_root.guardia is not the correct path/name or _root.quienes is not the correct path/name or hide is incorrect.

the only place you're using hide is within the movieclip that has that code attached?

i tested

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.guardia.hitTest(_root.quienes)) {
hide =true;
} else {
hide =false;
}
}

and doesnt work. one of the clips (guardia) is on a button mouse over state. i made two clips without htat configuration but dosnt work at all. any possible answer?
