Hi Sivakatirswami,
Try using the "unlock screen" command in each of the show and hide scripts.
Notice the placement in the first script.

I had a similar problem where a field I was using the put to update it in a
repeat loop, never refreshed the rest of the screen. So I put the "unlock
screen" inside the repeat and walla, it now shows all the objects on the
screen, not just the field that's getting updated.

HTH U,
