I’m trying to create a simple map in AS3.

Basic actions:

- Rolling over a dot presents another movie-clip.
- This movie-clip acts like a drop down menu. You can roll-on, click an active link, or make the movie-clip disappear when you roll-off.

Now, I don’t think my version is fully compatible with AS3 since I’m still getting an output warning message that states:

**’WARNING: Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not supported in ActionScript 3.0. All scripts on object instances will be ignored.'**

I guess my question is, can I do this more efficiently and how?

Is my hyperlink link information (within the movie-clip) efficient? Can this be done outside of the movie-clip, maybe main time-line?

Is there a better way to turnoff the clip (on roll-off), rather than having code on the invisible button (within the bubbleclip) do it?

I have attached a working example.

example code (use as reference)  
**// Code that enables bubbleclip from the main timeline.**  
invis.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL\_OVER,roll);

function roll(event:MouseEvent):void {  
bubbleClip.gotoAndPlay(11);  
}

\*\*// invisible movieClip Code (it is inside bubbleclip) that makes bubble \*\*disappear on roll\_off.

function invisClipOver(event:MouseEvent):void {  
gotoAndPlay(“stop”);  
}  
invisiClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL\_OVER,invisClipOver);

**// hyperlink code**  
function init(){  
hearst.web1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, weblink);  
}  
init();

function weblink(event:MouseEvent)  
{  
navigateToURL(web, “\_blank”);  
}
