Example

The following example sets the

_visible property for two movie clips called myMC1_mc and

myMC2_mc. The property is set to true for one instance, and false for the other. Notice that

myMC1_mc instance cannot be clicked after the _visible property is set to false.

myMC1_mc.onRelease = function() {

trace(this._name+"._visible = false");

this._visible = false;

};

myMC2_mc.onRelease = function() {

trace(this._name+"._alpha = 0");

this._alpha = 0;

};

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 4

Example

The following code example displays the height and width of a movie clip in the Output

panel:

this.createEmptyMovieClip("triangle", this.getNextHighestDepth());

triangle.beginFill(0x0000FF, 100);

triangle.moveTo(100, 100);

triangle.lineTo(100, 150);

triangle.lineTo(150, 100);

triangle.lineTo(100, 100);

trace(triangle._name + " = " + triangle._width + " X " + triangle._height +

" pixels");

The MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in this example requires Flash Player

7 or later. If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components

DepthManager class instead of the

MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.
