see the FLA:

rollOver button 1 and it should light up. rollOver 2 and it should light up both 1 and 2. the problem i am having is when you rollover one side the other side should check to see if the other is on and react accordingly. rollOver 1 and continue the mouse movement horizontally to the 2 and you will see the flicker of the movement. i want to fix that. THANKS!

maybe i need to better explain what i am trying to do. or maybe this is really simple and i am just totally missing the logic.

one large movie clip with 2 smaller ones in it.  
the clips make up a button with 2 hit areas. (left and right)  
when you roll over the left i want it to light up.  
when you roll over the right i want both to light up.  
when you roll from the left onto the right i do not want the left light again, but instead know that it is already turned on and stay that way until a roll out.

that make more sense?

when i click on the right side i am having it open a movie. next to the button.  
as long as that movie is open i would like the right side of the button to stay lit. even if you go and rollover another one of the buttons. any ideas on that?
