Well...okay. First of all can I suggest using load movie for the little
window m.c.? I feel like it is a cleaner way to do this, you might be
doing it like that already. And then...
it doesn't seem like what you want to do is difficult... but instead of
messing around with visibility=0, why don't you just make each data
telltarget have 2 frames, one with the data, and one with an empty
frame. That way you can just use tell target commands with a go to
frame, depending on whether the data should be shown or not.

not have understood exactly what you are trying to do...anything else,
just ask, and I'll do my best!
Well, hope I helped!
