HUD edit needed

I found this script from Symptco Designs and then used an edited version to make the HUD disappear and reappear using a switch. The problem I have is that even when I have the switch on so that the HUD is off screen, it'll appear for a second or two before disappearing. This is annoying especially when I want to begin a game with a cut scene. Is there a way to further edit this script so that the HUD does not appear unless a call script command is used?

**BUMP** My last.
I guess I need someone to change the part in frame update where it defines the switches. Instead of using switches, I would like to use a call script command. Even when I start the game with a black screen, you can still see the HUD for like a second before it disappears. I would rather it not appear at all unless I need it to.

My old HUD script... I havn't seen it in ages :)
And voila! A small edit, but it should work. Use $game_system.hud_visible = bool to turn it on or off. bool is either true or false.

First off, thank you so much for responding to my request. When I input your script, I received an error. It said that a no method error occurred at line 39 of the sprite timer class. Any suggestions?

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you times a million. By the way, I pasted this at first: yeyinde_hud_int right and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. ^_^ Anyway, I really appreciate your help.
