...and here is another one but this one is a general solution rather 
than specific to one project. I include this in stacks fairly routinely.

on hideFields
   put the paramCount into k
   repeat with x = 1 to k
     hide field x
   end repeat
end hideFields

Put that in your stack script and wherever you want to hide fields, 
make a call

hideFields 1,7,3,8 -- (etc)

Notice you can pass it any number of fields and do not first have to 
put them in sequence or groups or anything else.

Create a corresponding handler for showing fields, and you might also 
want a reversing one, whose main line in the repeat loop is:
     set the visible of field x to (not the visible of field x)

You can also pass it field numbers or names, although if you are using 
names you should make sure they are not also variables or reserved 
words.
