Can you help me how to make invisible a movieclip after i pressed on it in every layers?

[ayhanbabaa]

Hello i am newbie with action script 2 and i am develop a escape game in flash cs5 with action script 2.The problem is that i have created some variables on layer named action script to make invisible a movieclip when its clicked.

action script layer code:

var mymovieclip=0;

if (mymovielip==1)

{

_root.mymovieclip._visible=false;

}

and movieclip code:

onPress()

{

_root.mymovieclip._visible=false;

}

if (mymoviclip==1)

{

_root.mymovieclip._visible=false;

}

after all that , when i click the movieclip its being invisible but!!! when i change another layer that movie clips appears again."I could not find permanently hide this movieclip when its clicked".Sorry for my english and my codes works as well (i mean i can be write them wrong here but they works well in flash) can you help me please?

this is the only code that's meaningful (unless you assign mymovieclip or mymovielip or mymoviclip to 1 someplace not shown),

onPress()

{

_root.mymovieclip._visible=false;

}

p.s.  - and i assume some of those are typos -

p.s.s. if _root.mymovieclip disappears and then reappears there's either coding making it do so or it appears on another keyframe and is another instance

first of all thank you for your answer theres no variable movielip or movieclip with that..this is my fault i used this code in my previous flash games but i lost the codes.I remember how i blocked reapperance of movieclip when every change of frames.

Just open flash and create 5 different keyframe than put a movieclip there and make it invisible with the code.After that when you go to another keyframe (gotoandstop code) you will see this movieclip reappears! i cant find a way to block it appear 😕

[ayhanbabaa]

yes its appears on another keyframe..i put gotoandstop code soo when i go to another keyframe this movieclip appears and appears..i think i have to tell it to flash with some variables for making invisible permanently.

remove all instances of mymovieclip

add mymovieclip to the first keyframe where you want it to appear

add the following to whatever object you want to be clickable 

onPress()

{

_root.mymovieclip._visible=false;

}

add your other keyframes on the layer that contains mymovieclip where you want mymovieclip to change properties (eg, position).

I am saying:_root.samplemovieclip._visible=false; >> this code is not enough to hide a movieclip permanently we have do this with variable..

all i want is when i click samplemovieclip "it must be invisible forever" no more appereance or repeat or anything.

you're welcome.

up , the problem is not solved

Can you help me how to make invisible a movieclip after i pressed on it in every layers?

[ayhanbabaa]

[kglad]

did you follow these steps:

remove all instances of mymovieclip

add mymovieclip to the first keyframe where you want it to appear

add the following to whatever object you want to be clickable

onPress()

{

_root.mymovieclip._visible=false;

}

add your other keyframes on the layer that contains mymovieclip where you want mymovieclip to change properties (eg, position).

if so, put mymovieclip in its own labeled layer and attach a screenshot of your main timeline so i can that mymovieclip only exists in one keyframe.

[ayhanbabaa]

yes i followed your instructions but when i removed instance name , nothing worked.

[ayhanbabaa]

this is an escape game project my friend..i want that movieclip must be disappeared after clicked one time..

[ayhanbabaa]

i will fail if player gets an item and if it appears again in his inventory..:)

[kglad]

you did nothing that i suggested and you did things that i did not suggest.

[ayhanbabaa]

you said me remove instances of movieclip i did and i removed mymovieclip's instance name

i added mymovieclip on first keyframe as you requested

than i added my code in it:

onPress()

{

_root.mymovieclip._visible=false;

}

thats all i did.

[kglad]

i didn't say anything about removing any instance names

the code you showed was different

and you didn't place mymovieclip on its own layer.
