Help with this, please

Hello everyone, I’m new to Flash MX, and I’m trying to complete this tutorial a CBT Café http://www.cbtcafe.com/FLASH/flyoutmenu/flyoutmenus4.html . I can’t figure out two part’s in Step 7.
How do I draw a large rectangle over the stage area and not include the areas around the menu items at the same time. Also how do I copy the Over keyframe and move it to the Hit keyframe, just click on the Over keyframe and drag it to the Hit keyframe? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

answer to second question: yes.

answer to first: Draw a large rectangle. then draw rectangles (on that same layer) over the parts you do not want to include (make the smaller rectangles a different color) then select them and delete.

it should work…
