...well, you never know who reads the use list. At least this thread has
provided clarity on how to set the visible of me to true - just in case! ;-)

Chris,
Maybe I'm still too new to LiveCode (or too keen on the Matrix) but for now I'm
sticking to the principle that software objects are inanimate - they don't get
to have a state of being! ;-)
There seems to be a fair mixture of toggle properties that imply states of
being (such as visible)

I see two-state properties such as "visible" as a "state of being" toggle
such that:
"the state of being visible is true or false"
or
"the state of being opaque is true or false"
But "the state of being visibility" doesn't scan right.
It's different with non-toggle properties. If there was one ca

Jim - Thanks, You're right in that my typo didn't throw a script editor error
but instead created a custom property - which I've now purged, (to save me
wondering what it's for, when I rediscover it in a few months' time!)
Best,

You may be right, and "visible" should be removed and replaced with
"visibility". But I don't mind if they were synonyms, at least someone who
thinks in terms of the visibility of objects wouldn't get script errors.

Synonym might not be the correct term here but the dictionary could help us
much more with Thesaurus and/or contextual relationships, because for the
part-time coder, it's often difficult with LiveCode to know when to think of
properties as nouns, adjectives, adverbs, etc.
Just look at the basi

I don't see how that makes much sense; 'visible' is an adjective, while
'visibility' is
a noun; so how 'visibility' could be synonymous with 'visible' I just do
not see.
Of course the language i

"the visibility of me" would be a custom property that you invent to

'Visibility' is not a Rev property of an object.
try this

Both should work for you.

Thanks Klaus & René - I've obviously been staring at the screen for too long
(several hours), so and didn't notice the typo or even lack of colour change in
the script editor. Doh!
So much for LiveCode's forgiving, English-like language - where have all the
pseudonyms gone! ;-)
