I don't know what you can do under OS X, but in OS 9.x you can use the
file visibility osax. I just tried it to see if it works on folders and
it does.

property theFldr : (choose folder) as text
property theState : true

if theState then
make file invisible file theFldr
set theState to false
else
make file visible file theFldr
set theState to true
end if
