hiya… i am using the hitTest function to tell whether the mouse has rolled over or off a specific area… the problem i have is that the area is the full size of my flash… and for some reason when i roll in andout from the top it is fine… but when i rollin and out from the bottom or sides it wont start again…? why? is it because it needs to read a non hit within the flash window? is there a hitTest on the actual flash animation window? or do i simply need to make the border area larger?

hope im making sense…
