FLASH: call action troubles... suggestions?

[UnitA3]

Fellow Flashers,

I'm trying to get a call action to change the visibility of a mc and can't 

figure out what's going wrong. 


This very simple test fla races the variable "vis" (after the call action 

completes) and GetProperty("/tp", _visible) tells me that the mc "tp" changes 

to visible during test movie -- but the mc tp stays invisible nonetheless.


Here's the logic:

The call action simply sets "vis" = 1  and, on another frame I've set the 

visibility of mc tp to 0. There's also a simple moving dot animation to 

indicate where the play head is. 


In the frame with the call action, but before the call I set vis to 0 (and 

trace it to prove the call is working). Then the "call" followed by another 

trace and the test and response:


If "vis" = 1    

tell target "/tp"     

Set Property("",Visiblity) = 1

end tell target

{--  A trace here shows mc "tp" changes to visible via 

GetProperty("/tp",_visible)  --}

end if


So please, somebody explain why won't the mc "tp" become visible on playback?


I trust this rephrasing of the question helps.
