Hi Lou,

Individual graphics can't be shown or hidden in OmniGraffle, but layers 
can. So one thing you could do would be to place the children on their 
own layer, and then make the action on the parent something like:
	set aLayer to layer 2 of page of self
	set visible of aLayer to not visible of aLayer

Hope this helps,
