MC 2.5 build number 1, Win2000 

I put btn1, btn2, and fld1 onto a card
btn 2 script: 

on mouseUp
  lock screen
  put the vis of btn 1 into fld 1

  if the vis of btn 1 then
    hide btn 1
  else show btn 1

  unlock screen with visual effect dissolve 

end mouseUp 

Worked as expected. with each click of bt2, fld1 text cycled between true 
and false with dissolve, and btn1 cycled between visible and invisible with 
dissolve.
