I have a set of 4 buttons on the stage. When rolling over any of these, a MovieClip is set to gotoAndStop a certain frame. That MovieClip covers the 4 buttons on the stage. So on MOUSE\_OVER, I’m getting some flickering. Each button has a MOUSE\_OUT event tied to it that sends the MovieClip back to frame 1, which hides the content.

I’ve tried removing the event listeners and it doesn’t work.

I made the 4 buttons smaller and moved them out of the way of the MovieClip and that works. But when the clip is over the buttons, I get the flicker.

Any ideas?
