Is it possible to make a primitive shape appear/disappear (visible/invisible) while animated?

iSeeThis

I know that Animate2 can make a character visible/invisible while animated. But not for sure for primitive shapes (or even accessories like watch or lace). I've tried to find this solution but found nowhere on the net. Please help.

I don't know if you can edit (and creates) your textures in DS, but in Carrara, you can tweek the alpha channel in the texture room and animate the visibility of the object or character.
