I'm adding indexing to my stack of canvasses via including an 'index' layer for each canvas that contains a dot+index_item that's positioned within the proximity of the target (base layer).

Example: entering '•object' in the find dialog would immediately jump to where '•object' is positioned (within the index layer above the target (base layer).

This only works with the index layer is VISIBLE.
... so I made the index item transparent within the VISIBLE index layer.

This works...
... but it also interferes with the action events of the base layer. I have to click outside the hidden index item to get the target base-layer item to fire its event.

Possible Solution:
1) Toggle the visibility of the index layer when ever a FIND is requested. -- All I need to do is to locate the target via SHOW the index layer then HIDE the Index layer one the target is reached.

IS THIS POSSIBLE via the available apple script engine?

Any references on how this can be done?

Thanks,
Ric.
