Please help me figure out how to fix this. I have 7 main navigation items, some of them have pop-out menus to the right with subnavigation.

[Current Example](http://www.kylehaskins.com/files/flash3/)

I’m trying to get it to behave like this:

- You roll over Nav item 1, and Nav1’s subnavigation shows to the right
- You are able to still click on Nav item 1 or it’s subnavigation and each will bring up content
- When you roll off the area (nav1’s area + subnav1’s area), the submenu goes away

As you can see, I’ve got Nav1’s \*\*rollOver \*\*and \*\*rollOut \*\*working, but now I need to place a button area over “Musical Arts Center” (Nav1) so I can have an \*\*onRelease \*\*for that item. \*\*

If I place a clickable button or Movieclip over Nav1, it messes up the \*rollOver \*and \*rollOut \*due to a layering issue.

\*\*I can’t come up with a solution. Please help.
