I’m trying to figure out a way to duplicate the javascript nav bar from the new england patriots site ([link](http://www.patriots.com/homepage/)) in flash, and i’m stuck.

I have the mouse over / mouse off action done where the menu drops and goes back, and the link “buttons” work, but since you can’t embed movies with button actions within each other, i can’t figure out how to make the buttons highlight when you mouse over them. One way i was thinking could work is if you can control layer visibility via actionscript (to have the highlight be visible then not visible). any ideas?
