hide group - what gives?

[Sarah]

Hi Rodney,

It looks a bit as if you have multiple groups. Check the Application 
Browser and make sure that the group you are hiding is actually the 
group that contains the items you want to hide. This could explain your 
selection problems too.

Hiding a group works fine for me i.e. it makes all the components of 
that group disappear. There is one
trap that caught me yesterday: even though the members of the group 
cannot be seen, their "visible" property is still set to true. It is 
the group's visible property that is false. So don't base any other 
scripts on the visible of part of a group :-)

Cheers,
Sarah
