    Turning an object off and on.

      I'm helping a friend make an interactive Flash page.  I've generally kept my actionscript pretty simple but he wants to add a detail that I'm sure can be done but I've never done it before myself.  His page is essentially set up like a simple maze with point and click navigation through rooms, but he wants to be able to click on an item in a room that would unlock another item that would then appear in the corner of the screen and remain there as long as you're in the maze.

       

      So in other words.  There would basically be a movieclip in the upper right corner of the screen that only become visible when it's unlocked by clicking on an object elsewhere on the screen.  The trick is once this movieclip is visible it needs to remain on the screen even if the user backtracks to rooms that he was previously in without that visible movie clip.  Any thoughts?

       

      We're using actionscript 3 in Flash cs5.
