Hello,

I've been having a few problems with a project.
I have posted a few times before and siphoned through most of the previous posts on actionscript.org. I am fairly new to this and while being able to achieve some nice effects, my actionscripting is a little vague.

I'm sorry if this question has been answered before but I really am at my wits end and I feel that what I am trying to achieve may be a little ambitious!

I don't want all the work done for me, but I have attached the code at the bottom to better illustrate my plight!

Anyway, enough blabber, here is my problem -

- I have created a drop down menu system from a single animated button (services), I have extended the hit area to cover this new menu.

- I am trying to make the new buttons which have appeared take on the same tint effect as their parent menu.

- The "invisible" button means that the hand cursor appears everywhere (I have tried stoth_mc.useHandCursor = false; but it doesn't appear to work.

- Finally when I rollover the new button, the drop down menu dissapears!

Thank you very much for any ideas and help.

If you can figure out this (http://www.billystyx.co.uk/menuCustom.html) one you are welcome to use it - you can do drop down menu items and submenu items with it - and its just a movieclip, so (hopefuly) you can see how it works. The example is not the swf, just the fla.

and useHandCursor=false; should work - perhaps you are referencing the path to your movieclip incorrectly.
