Before I start, yes I did search and couldn’t find the answer.

OK, here’s my problem. I have a button which goes to frame 2 to reveal the movieclip i need  
What I need is a hittest where the mouse has to roll onto the movieclip before it goes back to frame 1 when you roll back off it.  
Here’s the code I tried doing it with.

```auto

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
		if (!this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
			_root.startmenu.gotoAndStop(1);
		}
	}
} 

```
