   If you want to set the visibility/transparency of an item staticly, there’s no need for scripting. Just long-tap, “Customize Item”, “More…”, “+” tab, change value of “Transparency”.

   Just explain what is you are looking to obtain.

   
   

   Is it as simple as swipe to hide/show? Something more complex?

   If you want to swipe or to tap an item to hide another you need to know the label of the item you want to hide. Say you want to hide/show an item named Silvia using swipe in the same container/desktop.

   
   

   Set a swipe event to Run a script and copy this into the script editor:

   
   

   
   

   var itemLabel = “Silvia”;

   
   

   // getting item from container

   
   

   var e = LL.getEvent().getContainer().getItemByLabel(itemLabel);

   
   

   if (!e)

   
   

   e = LL.getCurrentDesktop().getItemByLabel(itemLabel);

   
   

   // toggle visibility

   
   

   if ( e.isVisible() )

   
   

   e.setVisibility(false);

   
   

   else

   
   

   e.setVisibility(true);

   
   

   
   

   Now close the script editor and try it out.

   
   

   If item Silvia is in a different desktop or container then you need to know the name or ID of the container, and replace the code after // getting item from container with something else.

    What type of item is item2? Has the name changed? I don’t see what Pierre Hébert could have changed.
