Toggling show/hide button text

Good day Pros,

 

              I am looking to toggle three different boxes. The toggle box is "Unhide" and it unhides two other boxes. "Convening Date" and "Graduating Date". I have a third box "CT NOTE" that hides these two boxes. I want the Unhide box to hide both the Convening Date and Graduating Date boxes and Show the CT NOTE box. When clicked it would do the reverse. It will unhide both text boxes but hide the CT NOTE box. Is this possible?

If Unhide is a button field, enter the following mouse up action script:

var cDate=this.getField("Convening Date");
var gDate=this.getField("Graduation Date");
var ctNote=this.getField("CT Note");

if(cDate.display==display.hidden)
{
cDate.display=display.visible;
gDate.display=display.visible;
ctNote.display=display.hidden;
}
else
{
cDate.display=display.hidden;
gDate.display=display.hidden;
ctNote.display=display.visible;
}

You forgot the .display part of each of the lines in the brackets, e.g.:

cDate=display.visible;

Should be:

cDate.display=display.visible;
