Ok, I am having a bit of trouble getting some buttons to work as I would like them to. Basically, I have 5 rectangular blocks which will be acting as a sub-menu on my portfolio website. So I have a rectangular button for each of: Website Design, Photography, Flash Animation, 3D Modelling and Digital Film-Making.

Website Design, Photography and Flash Animation have sub-links that I want to appear when the relevant rectangular button is rolled over.

Both the rectangular button and the textual links that appear have URLRequests.

So far I have made the ractangular button a movieClip and the textual links (that appear when the rectangular button is rolled over) are button symbols.

Problem is; When I roll over the rectangular button, the textual links appear fine but when I try to click the textual link - it links to what the rectangular button is linking to and not what I’ve told the textual links to link to. Here it is:

[[URL=“http://megaswf.com/serve/74070/”]SWF file](http://megaswf.com/serve/74066/)

FYI: I am only working on the Website Design button atm so don’t worrk about the others. For this example the rectangular button is meant to link to: [http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/privacy.html](http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/privacy.html)  
The Interests website textual link is meant to link to: [http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/about.html](http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/about.html)  
The Ripplevale textual link is meant to link to: [http://www.google.co.uk/services/](http://www.google.co.uk/services/)  
The Flash Portfolio textual link is meant to link to: [http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/ads/](http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/ads/)

Sadly, they all just link to the Google Privacy page which is what the rectangular button is linking to.

I have also tried making the textual links movieClips but have the same problem.

Thanks, Andy
