Hi I have made an code so if you click on an object the object dissapears and for that I used this code:

Flash timelines are kind of like a static state machine; moving from frame-to-frame will run all of the document code at that frame (every time). It also resets the value of the content to the state it was in during design time (so, frame = design + code). Because of the headaches this model can cause, I highly recommend you do all of your design & code in a single frame. In short, don't use timelines.

If you're not ready to make the shift, and want to make sure it stays hidden, you'll need to set the visibility of flap1 at each frame. This might look something like this:

function toggleBtnListener(e:MouseEvent):void {
    if (flap1.visible) {
        flap1.visible = this.flap1Visibility = false;
    } else {
        flap1.visible = this.flap1Visibility = true;
    }
}

flap1.visible = this.flap1Visibility;

Comment Response

The code you pasted has two issues:

  • You moved the flap1.visible setting to the inside of the Click listener. You want it outside of the listener so that it gets called on every frame
  • You have your import statements inside the listener. Always place these at the top of your code before you use the classes.

Revised code:

import gs.*;
import gs.easing.*;
TweenMax.to(movieclip1, 2, {scaleX:4, scaleY:4, ease:Elastic.easeOut});

function move_to_top(e:MouseEvent):void {
    if (flap1.visible) {
        flap1.visible = this.flap1Visibility = false;
    } else {
        flap1.visible = this.flap1Visibility = true;
    }
    animateClip()
} 

flap1.visible = this.flap1Visibility;
animateClip()

function animateClip():void {
    if (flap1.visible == false) {
        this.setChildIndex(movieclip1, this.numChildren - 1);
        flap1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, move_to_top);
    }
}
