I have a menu system that is contained within an MC that drops down from behind a graphic mask when a call button is pushed. The dropdown function is actionscripted. In the timeline, the menu system is lower than the mask so that the mask can do it’s job, but when I mouse over the masked region, the menu system functions and the rollover sounds play even though they are visually hidden by the mask. Is there a way to make the mask “mask” the fact that there are buttons behind it?

thanks in advance
