What exactly do you mean?

"the label of btn xyz" is a string that is displayed instead of the  
button's name
and does not have a property "visible" per se!

Showing/hiding a LABEL (the name) only works by setting the "showname  
of btn xyz" to true or false.
Maybe this is what you are after?

...
   if the showname of button "check3" = false and the showname of  
button "check6" = true then
      set the location of button "check6" to the location of this card
   end if
...
