Hi there!

I’ve got a sliding menu type navigation that follows the x position mouse when you hover a button, which i did using this tutorial:

[http://robouk.mchost.com/tuts/tutorial.php?tutorial=smartnav](http://robouk.mchost.com/tuts/tutorial.php?tutorial=smartnav)

Its all working perfectly on the main stage, but when i put it in a movie clip it all doesnt work…

I think i might need some \_roots somewhere, but im not sure where (im a bit thick where actionscript is concerned :trout: )

If you could help me, i’d appreciate it…

Thanks
