_visible Help

  • April 4, 2008

The function below is executed and all runs well (i.e. the percentage preloader works fine and displays the percentage values in my Dynamic Text Field which has a Var label of 'loadText'. It is stored inside my percentage_mc movieclip on the main timeline), however, when the whole movie has loaded, I need to be able to hide the text field from view, but it's not working with the code I have below.

Any idea on what i'm missing? (apart from a good actionscript brain!)

Thanks for reading.

the _visible property is a propety of textfields, but not of variables.

I looks like loadText is a text box on the stage and not a movieclip and _visible i think only applies to movie clips... you could put the box inside another movieclip and then target it so that the _visible property works.

But to save time you could simply once the condition is met tell it to:
this.loadText = "";

Cheap trick but it may work

use the instance name of your textfield. (you're trying to assign your textfields variable's _visible property, which doesn't exist, to be false.)
