hi. im using the infinitie menu as a set of links to pictures. I have the menu as a seperate swf loaded into another one. What i am trying to do is to stop the mouse interacting with the menu (eg. moving it up and down) when the mouse is not over it. the menu gets really annoying when navigating the site and it keeps moving up and down at the side.

i have attatched the files. open file layout01 and the picturescroller will be imported into it automatically…

can someone please help me with this 😃

thanks

I had the same problem. A simple if function should sort it.

Post your .fla file and I’ll have a look at it. I@ve been playing with the menu for a few days now, so its worth a look.

\*\*hopefully you noticed that:

if (\_ymouse\>top && \_ymouse\<bottom)

should change to:

if (\_xmouse\>left && \_xmouse\<right)

for a vertical one, also you might want \_root before the \_xmouse bits\*\*

Is the attached file your working example? Cos it’s wrong…

In the if statement the words left and right need to be replaced with the x position of your intended border.
