Making 3D object invisible then visible - Macromedia Director 3D

[naddasmiles]

Currently at the start of my movie when played i have a screen model set to
invisible with

member("3DHousePrototype_v2").model("Screen").visi bility = #none

This is working fine.
However to make it visible again i have a button that is to be clicked and
when done so it executes this code

on mouseUp me
member("3DHousePrototype_v2).model("Screen").visib ility = #both
end

This is the problem area as when clicked it is not making the screen visible
again. I have also tried the removeFromWorld code, which works when the movie
is played. But when the button is clicked with the addToWorld code it does not
execute.
I am not sure what i am doing wrong, whether there is something wrong with the
button or it is not possible to do this.
Help.....

Hello Nat,

Why using #both ? Why not #front ? Do you really need two sided polygons ?

Also, there is a missing quote (") in your button code snippet for the
3DHousePrototype cast member.

Alternatively, check the Model Visibility behavior in the Chrome Lib free 2.0
version:

Best regards,

Newt99,
not sure if you are giving a suggetion or not, but setting the visiblity
#front wouldn't solve the problem. In addition, I don't think the missing quote
would cause this problem either. In fact if thier is a missing quote, Director
should pop-up a script error when Nat had compiled the script or if Nat didn't
compiled it, it still should of given the script error when Nat closed the
script window.

Nat,
from looking what you have gave us, and ignoring the typo error, this script
should of worked. The best thing I would suggest is in your "on mouseUp" event
handler, add this to it...

put member("3DHousePrototype_v2).model("Screen").visib ility

... then open your message window and run the movie and click on the button
that actives the mouse call. When you click on the button, in message window it
should put the value of 1 or 0. If the value is 1 then that means the visibilty
is true, and it might have to do with the shader that is applied to the model.
However if the value is 0, then I have no clue what is going on without seeing
your full beaviour script. In addition, it could be that their is another
script that is attatched to this sprite that is interfering with this.
