I dont know if any of you have seen / used the XML drop-dwon menu created by Lostinbeta some time ago? …Anyway for those of you who havent here’s the file (attached). Anyway my problem or ‘issue’ is that I would like to make the baground on the buttons transparent without seeing the submenu items underneath (you wil notice that when collapsing submenu the submenu items slide behind main menu items.)…Ive been fiddling for hours. Could someone plz offer a few momments of their time?

al i did was take the background of the buttons out of the mask. (there’s something dodgy about the mask, and i think this is the reason for it not working) and put it on the main timeline of the button. it looks good
