So I don't know hoe to make a symbol in side a vcam appear as visible.
I tried changing the AS of the vcam

this._visible = false;
// Do I change or add a code in here?

Help please.

What you should do is make the squares that are inside of the VCam transparentand change the 10th line of code to: this.visible = true (or you can just remove the 10th line)

Lixu, I think he wants to put a movieClip inside of the vcam, and have that movieClip be visible but the camera lines be invisible. Your method would make the lines visible.

I don't know if that's what he meant, but I think it is.

Yeah, I get around this by putting another symbol on the same layer as the Vcam and grouping them, so the symbol moves with the camera but is visible.

Group them by selecting them and Modify -> Group
Or you press Ctrl+G.

Hold up.
Are you trying to do something like have a symbol of your username or something follow along with the Vcam like this : http://www.swfme.com/view/1112422 ?

If so, all you have to do is group them. . . .

It's not working for me..
