I agree. I would put the button in an MC then on the required event I would set the visibility property of the MC instance to false. All you have to do is make sure to name the instance and to make sure that both expression check boxes are checked. The expression boxes will appear in the scripting panel when the set property command in your script is selected. This works very well and I use it very much, you can even use it to make a whole web site that is built from a movie that is only one frame long. As long as everything is in its own MC you can set its properties. Just remember that it has to be a named instance of the MC.
