theButton._visible

Description

The Boolean _visible property indicates whether theButton is shown (true) or hidden (false). We use _visible as a quick means of hiding a button from view. Hidden buttons can still be controlled via ActionScript; they simply are not displayed on screen. However, a hidden button cannot receive focus or user input, so its events do not get triggered.

Button._visible is directly analogous to MovieClip._visible; see that property entry for full details.

Example

The following code hides quit_btn:

quit_btn._visible = false;
