It's easy. I really don't know why you want to do that.
Anuway... You need to create a javascript function first to do the hiding, something like:

function hideLayer(id) {
    var layer = document.getElementById(id);
    layer.style.display = 'none';
}
 

Then, from actionscrpit the best alternative to do that is by using the ExternalInterfa ce (available since flash 8), like this:

function hideLayer(id) {
    flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("hideLayer",id);
}
flbot1.onRelease = funtion() {
    hideLayer("Layer1");
}
 

Am assuming that what you call "name" for the div is really it's id, since that's the most sensible.

For a more complete reference to the ExternalInterfa ce go here:
