hey ive got a slider menu which opens when clicked. however the buttons (also mc instanced) inside the slider mc wont work… here is the code:

//Menu Slider Background  
\_root.menuSlider\_MC.onRollOver = function() {  
new Tween(\_root.menuSlider\_MC, “\_x”, Bounce.easeOut, \_root.menuSlider\_MC.\_x,-250, 20);s  
}

\_root.menuSlider\_MC.onRollOut = function() {  
new Tween(\_root.menuSlider\_MC, “\_x”, Bounce.easeOut, \_root.menuSlider\_MC.\_x,-305, 20);s  
}

\_root.menuSlider\_MC.onPress = function() {  
new Tween(\_root.menuSlider\_MC, “\_x”, Bounce.easeOut, \_root.menuSlider\_MC.\_x,50, 20);s  
}

//Menu Buttons  
\_root.menuSlider\_MC.web\_MC.onRollOver = function() {  
trace(“yes”);  
}

the slider mc works however i cant seem to get the ‘web\_MC’ to respond…

how can i fix this? cheers.

Hi,

This will not work because the last event

```auto

//Menu Buttons
_root.menuSlider_MC.web_MC.onRollOver = function() {
trace("yes");
}

```

will not be triggered, why?  
Because of the rollover event of his parent

```auto

//Menu Slider Background
_root.menuSlider_MC.onRollOver = function() {
new Tween(_root.menuSlider_MC, "_x", Bounce.easeOut, _root.menuSlider_MC._x,-250, 20);s
}

```

Solution:  
You could do a new movieclip inside menuSlider\_MC, lets call it menuSlider\_BG with this code

```auto

_root.menuSlider_MC.menuSlider_BG.onRollOver = function() {
new Tween(this._parent, "_x", Bounce.easeOut, _root.menuSlider_MC._x,-250, 20);s
}

```

Let me know how it worked.
