Hide a symbol

So I have been navigating okay with the show and hide elements

.

sym.$("Text1").show();

sym.$("Text1").hide();

I get to 1.a great, Its a symbol and has animation on it. but when I want to return back to home I cant.  My main goal

is to get back in the box (A1-A2-A3). So how do i hide a symbol when i click on the home button while im in the symbol itself?

Im in -> a.1

click on home

hide -> a.1 (which is a symbol)

return to home screen

Hope I made this as clear as I can, and I appologize if I am reposting a question that has already been answered.

I really tried looking everywhere and nothing worked.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

Kyle
