Hi there am new to action scripting. I have a Flash banner done for me long back. It shows 3 animated images displaying 3 categories such as ‘Ready Stock’ ‘Custom’ & ‘Refining’ which expand when rolled over. The thing is i want to add separate links to these categories but i cant make out anything from the code and i am unable to get in touch with the guy who did the animation. The action scripting used in the animation movie clip Symbol116 is as below. You can also view the .fla file at [http://prashantgeorge.com/header1.zip](http://prashantgeorge.com/header1.zip) & view the flash file at [http://prashantgeorge.com/header1.html](http://prashantgeorge.com/header1.html) All help would be much appreciated.
