Thanks Ian and Juan, I had forgotten about that!
Cheers,

When you use loadMovie (or loadClip, for that matter), the target
clip is
replaced by the loaded clip (or swf) and loses all of its properties.
So, when you do this:
initLoader.loadClip("assets.swf", tmpContainer);
tmpContainer will have all its default values reset. And so,
_visible will
be true, not false.
An option is nesting the target clip inside another empty clip and
set the
visibility on the parent.
+ root
+ holder_mc
+ targetClip_mc
holder_mc._visible = false;
holder_mc.targetClip_mc.loadMovie("etc"); //or use loadClip

I have no idea why this isn't working. I have created a container
movieclip
then set it's visible property to false in a number of ways. I can
only hide
the mc if I change the alpha but I need the clip to have no
visibility so
the user can't interact with the buttons on it.
Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong thankfully received.
Thanks,
Ali
private function loadInitialAssets():Void
{
//create assetsHolder on main timeline and make
invisible
var tmpContainer:MovieClip =
rootMC.createEmptyMovieClip("linksMC",
display.getMCDepth("linksMC"));
//none of these work!
rootMC["linksMC"]._visible = false;
rootMC.linksMC._visible = false;
tmpContainer._visible = false;
//set object in display
display.setLinksMC(tmpContainer);
initLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
initLoader.addListener(preLoader);
//swap depths with loader
tmpContainer.swapDepths(preLoader);
initLoader.loadClip("assets.swf", tmpContainer);
