flash actionscript: I built a video play. It has all the buttons that a typical video player would
have. On each of the buttons I have their visibility = 0 on load. This works
fine. Then once the video is loaded it calls a function that starts playing the
movie and it also turns the appropriate buttons visibility = 1. Here is the
problem. They are not coming on.

I've put a trace on the function that turns the buttons on so I know that I'm
hitting the function. I put a trace after the point where it turns the button
on and it thinks the visibility = 1. I put an onEnterFrame on the button and
put a trace of the visibility on it and it thought that it turned visible at
the right time.

The thing that is really blowing my mind is that it was working. I made a
couple of changes, non of which should have had any impact this stuff, and then
it stopped working. I undid the changes and it still isn't working.

Any ideas???

if your button exists and its _visible property is 1 make sure its

_alpha=100
location is on-stage (check its _x and _y properties)
its depth is sufficient that its not "covered" by another object
instance name matches the movieclip you're checking
