im sure its been post here before(or somewhere). I’m making my movieclip rollovers and everything works just fine, BUT if you rollout TOO FAST the clip stays and flash doesn’t recognize the rollout/over…

how is this solved?

haha one year ago when i first started work i had this problem with a flash menu i was making - i was pulling my hair out for ages and couldnt find an answer anywhere…

can you post at least a swf of your work - so i can see exactly what you want…or a fla would be even better.

k here is a very basic idea, but check out when you rollover portfolio and then rollout…driving me crazy

yea - i use an onEnterFrame in the mc that test for an overVar variable, and does the rollover/rollout according to wether its set to 1 or 0…

then i set the on(rollover) and on(rollOut) events to set the overVar variable to 1 and 0 respectively

if you post a fla of your button ill edit it to demonstrate.
