Hi all  
I got a problem that i don’t understand and starting to feel stupid for not understanding. I have a very simple menu with items having an on and an off state using MOUSE\_OVER and MOUSE\_OUT. When i run it, it just alternates between the two frames when i have the mouse over the MC though i have stop(); in the frames of the MC “bandh”.

If anyone could help out i’d appreciate!

```auto
import flash.events.*;

bandh.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, showFlag)
bandh.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, hideFlag)
bandh.buttonMode = true;
    function showFlag(e:MouseEvent):void{
        e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay(2);
    }
    
    function hideFlag(e:MouseEvent):void{
        trace(e.target.name);
        e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay(1);
    }

```
