I have a website that is almost completed. I have a navigation bar across the top with five buttons. The buttons all link to the different pages which appear below. When the site loads, one of the scripts I have is this:

_root.servicesPage.words.products._visible=false;

This is supposed to hide the products text in the words movie on the services page, but it doesn't. I use script just like this all over the site and it works fine except for on this one page. I know it should work. I built a site almost exactly like this one and this method worked on their fine. Is it a corrupt file? A bug in the program?

I am on a Mac Dual 2.0Ghz G5 running OSx 10.3.2

Thanks for your help in advance.

is products a movieclip?

This is more a hack.
Instead of

_visible = false

you can use

_alpha = 0

Yes, products is a movie clip.

I have used the ._alpha=0; code in other places on the site but would really rather use the _visible command to get the effect I want.

I've heard that Flash is buggy and doesn't always work properly on macs, could that be what is happening?
