Thanks alot lostinbeta. I don’t know what’s wrong with this but the movie clip really doesn’t coincide with the clicked button’s \_x and \_y. Sure it moves to a new location but it does not appear to flush. Like if the buttons \_x and \_y are 10 and 10 respectively the movie clip moves and stops at an \_x and \_y of 9.5 and 9.5. That is the problem I am trying very hard to solve! ☹ comicGeek ---

well if you want the movie clip to move to the buttons x and y… just have the end points be buttonInstance.\_x and buttonInstance.\_y… ---

For some odd reason, it doesn’t work like that. If you assign it to go to buttonInstance.\_x and stuff it goes to (0,0). I have no clue why though. I am not sure quite yet how to fix the problem you are having. But as of now I don’t think the problem is that major. I didn’t even notice a problem when I first tested it. ---

Thanks all! If you check out [www.theory7.com](http://www.theory7.com)’s new site, I’m sure you’ll understand what I’m trying to accomplish. I want to follow their menu system where you see a glass like movie clip follow the mouse when it hovers over a button. The thing is their glass movie clip coincides exactly to the position of the buttons. comicGeek ☹ ---

If you notice on their site, the white block moved behind the buttons. Perhaps the outlines of the buttons could actually help cover up this tiny flaw. ---
