Hello Everyone!

I’m trying to create a horizontal drop-down (well, sliding in actually) menu bar that expands to stage when rolling over it, and collapsing in when rolling-out. Problem is, when I roll-over one of the buttons in the menu, flash thinks I’m rolling out from the area that was supposed to trigger the menu in.

I have attached the file I’m working on (hopefully the most accurate one, as I tried dozens of solutions and wasn’t very careful with naming…:puzzle:).

I’m working with Flash CS3, AS2 (of course 🙂 )

Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance 🙂
