I have animated buttons with an over and out state, but I want to have button movieclips with in the main button so I can’t use onRollOver/onRollout to go to the over and out states…so I came up with this…there is 4 buttons…

```auto

numB = 4;
for (i=1; i<=numB; i++) {
	var but = this["b"+i];
	but.onMouseMove = function() {
		if (this._currentframe == 1 && this._currentframe != 25 && this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
			this.gotoAndPlay("over");
		} else {
			if (this._currentframe == 25 && this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, false)) {
				this.gotoAndPlay("out");
			}
		}
	};
}

```

the problem is, I don’t want it to play the “out” animation of the button if the mouse is still touching it, so I wanted to check if the mouse was still touching it, if the mouse was still touching it…then it wouldn’t play the "out’…

this is how it is now:
