Hi all,

This is the basic setup

![](http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/1701/44725509as4.gif)  
hidden\_mc is a symbol with opacity of 1%, which will rest on top of the 4 movieclips.  
the grey parts are also opacity of 1% so that they look transparent.

hidden\_mc.\_visible = false;  
close\_mc.\_alpha = return\_mc.\_alpha = next\_mc.\_alpha = 0;

During runtime, only next\_mc is visible to the user. when user hovers over next\_mc, close\_mc+return\_mc+prev\_mc will appear via tweening using the Tween class, and hidden\_mc.\_visible =true.

When hidden\_mc.onRollOut,  
hidden\_mc.\_visible = false;  
Tweening for close\_mc+return\_mc+next\_mc from 100 \_alpha to zero.

Works fine until this stage, but I am unable to click on the movieclips that I’ve assigned to all of the movieclips because hidden\_mc is at the very front. I’m not sure if this is the cause that my MCs are not working.

Any experienced kind soul has a workaround for this?  
Thank you.
