MY FLASH DROP DOWN MENU IS NOT WORKING...

[hugstable77]

Trying to build a dropdown menu... i have menu_mc on my main stage. Menu_mc is an instance of movieClip menu... subBut1_mc is a instance of clip subBut1 on the menu movieClip.

my actionScript on the main stage is:

this.menu_mc.onRollOver = function() {
menu_mc.gotoAndPlay("_over");
trace("over");
}
this.menu_mc.onRollOut = function() {
menu_mc.gotoAndPlay(_down);
trace("out");
}
menu_mc.subBut1_mc.onRollOver = function() {
trace("but1");
}

PROBLEM: the first 2 traces are working but the last one is not... what am i doing wrong...

If you use button handlers on a movie clip, those will override any other symbols' actions nested within that movie clip.
Use a hitTest on the movie clip, ratherthan button handlers... Your sub_buttons will then work...

I posted such a dropmenu example in this thread...

ARRRrrrrGGGGG. I'm having issues with dropdowns working too. oldnewbie - I accessed that other post of yours but can't download the file to take a look...?

Here is where I am:

When you click on the quicklinks button, it loads the movie for the pulldown, but the links won't work. It shouldn't be this hard should it??

The flash file is here:

Can you guys help me figure this one out?

I'm eyeballing the window...don't make me jump...
