I'm learning LCD on the fly and I'm needing some help.
 
I'm developing a form that requires a logo for each health district. There are 13 different ones.
 
What I'd like to do is select the Health Region from a drop-down box and have the matching Logo pop up in the blank logo spot at the top of the form.
 
I have dropped all the logos on the same spot on my page and made them "invisible". I then go to "Action Builder" and give it the command to be visible when the matching "health region" is selected.
 
This works . . .but . . .If you should make a mistake and decide to choose another "heatlh region" . . .the new logo shows up on top of the other logo. How do I get the first choice to go back to invisible?

LiveCycle Designer, Windows

Would you like to share how you did it and save some of us newbies from recreating it?
Thanks

I was needing separate logos to match separate health districts so I'll use these examples.

Place all the logo images layered on the same spot.
Give each a unique name (Churchill, Parkland, Sunrise)
Make each one invisible (under object/field tab)
Make and name a drop down list with the corresponding list of health regions (Churchill Health Region, etc)
Using Action Builder
Under Condition choose
When drop-down list (HealthRegion) [text selected] (Churchill)
The Result is
Set the visibility of Churchill to [visible]

then you have to make another action
condition is
when drop-down list (HealthRegion) [is changed]
set the visibility of (Churchill) to [invisible]

You need to do this for each logo/image. I had 13 and they all worked really great. Popped up exactly when I needed them. . . .now just wish I could get my head around SUBFORMS!!!
