on frame 1 I am using easing functions to make a menu slide out.

on the menu I have the following code

[AS]  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (this.hitTest(\_root.\_xmouse, \_root.\_ymouse, true))  
{  
trace(“icons hit”);  
\_root.buttonsOUT();  
\_root.labelsOUT();  
}  
}  
[/AS]

for some reason the hittest calls the function. but the slide menu stutters out rather than sliding smoothly.

if I remove the hittest and replace it with a simple on release then it work fine.

I think that the hittest keeps triggering the function over and over as the trace is tracing loads of times in the output window.
