Hi again :).
I have the following problem :
Say, I have a button, and when its pressed, it loads a movieclip.
In that movieclip are buttons, so I made the movieclip, ‘stop’ action in the end, so it doesnt close down (movieclip representing a drop-down menu, with links in it). When the movieclip is loaded, the buttons appear. Now, when I go OVER the button IN the movieclip, the movieclip just closes, and restarts ?
Thats my problem, I want to be able to press the buttons IN the movieclip, and the movieclip has to stay open.
Hope its clear of what I mean :).
Thx in advance.

Make a transparent background on the size of menu, when dropped down. It can be. Can you send the file?

aha yes, if you coded it when you move on to a link, it will change or be sth else, do not forget to put stop.
