I’m doing a simple mouseOver/mouseOut function,  
but it keeps being jerky in it’s animation, it is as if  
the mouseover and mouseout collide randomly.  
is there a better way to to this?

code below.

hotspot01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OVER, hotspotOver, false, 0, true);

```
function hotspotOver(e:Event)
{
    hotspot01.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

```

hotspot01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_OUT, hotspotOut, false, 0, true);

```
function hotspotOut(e:Event)
{
    hotspot01.gotoAndPlay(8);
}
```
