I’m trying to make a small dropdown menu, which on rollover shows a couple of links. This works fine, as long as i don’t make a text link on the second part, which appears when you hover over the button in the first part.

As soon as i do that, it stops to work. The moment you place your mouse over the link, you are taken back to the first frame which shouldn’t happen. This prevents you from clicking the link.

I know that it makes sense, that it collapses the moment you hover over the button. Because you have rolled of the background and onto the button. But i don’t know what to do, to prevent it from returning to the first frame when i hover over the link? [.fla file](http://www.goingdownunder.com/privimg/dropdowntest.fla)

First part

```auto

on(rollOver) {
gotoAndStop("open");
}

```

Second part, here is the text link placed on the button.

```auto

on(rollOut) {
gotoAndStop("closed");
} 

```
