Hi Greg,

There are 3 different types of  symbols and you handle invisibility in

in a different way for each.


A Graphic symbol should be invisible only if it is used in a Tween and

it should therefore be the only object in its layer. 

If you can't find it easily by clicking it then lock or hide other

layers then

     First select  Edit > Select All

     then Modify > Instance.


A Button with the Up State invisible will appear in a semi transparent

cyan color if 

     Control > Enable Buttons is not enabled.


A Movie Clip with its first frame empty (invisible) will appear as a

small round circle if not selected or a crosshair if selected.
