I have an image of a map which I’ve cut into certain regions (russia, south america, etc.) Each region is a button. For each button, I’ve included a movie clip that apears after a second. The movie clip is a menu, with 3 buttons in it itself. Here’s the problem: Firstly, the buttons in the menu clip do not work. Secondly, by default the clip disappears when the mouse cursor is moved anywhere. I need it to remain active so that the user can choose one of the 3 buttons inside the clip. Lastly, the buttons for each region are all on different layers. However, when I test the movie, some of the menu clips for certain regions go behind the image of other regions…changing the order will modify it but it always blocks 2 or 3 regions’ menu movies so that you can only see some of it. Hope yall can help!! Email me for the .swf or .fla file, if you’re feeling generous or just up to a challenge. Thanks! ---

This should give a preview, maybe some answers could come out of it… ---

After a second I’d like the menu movie clip to appear (like it does so far), then allow the user to be able to choose one of the three options in that clip. If you notice, you can’t choose anything right now. Also, while in some regions the menu clip shows up fine, in others it is partially hidden behind the other region buttons. I don’t know how to fix this either…
