Hi all,

I have a problem where I have declared an onRollOver event handler on frame 5. I also have a button on frame 4 telling flash to go to frame 5.

But, if the mouse is already over the movieclip on frame 5, the rollover event will not play.

Is there a way to force this onRollOver or another workaround for this?

Thanks.
