Grr!

I have a button. When I rollover this button, I’ve rigged it so a box\_mc clip fades in. In this movie clip are two buttons. It’s like a drop down menu, only it’s really a “fade in” menu below the button. Now, what I’m trying to do, is when the user rolls off the box\_mc _containing_ those two buttons, the box\_mc is played backwards so it appears to fade out.

Ok, now, my problem is, that I can get the box to fade in and play backwards ( and hence fade out ) on rollout, but then the buttons do not work (??) and are not selectable. OR, I can get the box to fade in, and the buttons work, but the rollout code for the box then fails to work.

I think it’s something to do with handling the events, but I’m not sure.

How would you approach this problem of the fade in menu ? =)
