Hello,

I’m making a movie player with a semi-transparent menu with the controls at the bottom. The menu hides afer a few seconds into the movie and I would like it to appear once the user moves the pouse in the"general vacinity" of it. I tried to do that using simple onRollOver/RollOut events, but if I do it that way the buttons on the menu stop responding.

Instead I would like the menu to appear based on mouse position on the stage. Or maybe there is a way to work around the issue with the buttons?

I would appreciate some help 🙂
