Newbie problem with movie RollOut

programming flash
1

Hi,
I have a button say ‘abt_btn’ on the main stage. On rollover, this button is instructed to gotoAndStop() at 5th frame which has a movie, ‘mc_abt_submenu’ on it, basically this implements my rollover effect since the movie at 5th frame is a submenu for abt_btn.
Upto now, everything is fine and my actions in the 1st frame are:

*stop();

btn_abt.onRollOver = function():Void {
gotoAndStop(“5th frame”);
}*

.But I also want to make sure that when I rollout of the ‘mc_about_submenu’, this movie should disappear, i.e., the play should go to the first frame. For this I added this to the actions on the first frame:

mc_about_submenu.onRollOut = function():Void {
gotoAndStop(“1stframe”);
}

Alas, this does not work. Any help?

You must have guessed by now that I am trying to make a menu navigation system quite like the one Macromedia’s website. Right now all the buttons and rollovers are working perfectly except for the rollout effect problem above.

Please see the attached fla for detail

I made that a while ago for someone trying to emulate the macromedia navigation.
(might need subtle changes/updates)

I noticed you used a spce here: 5th frame
and not here: 1stframe

Have not examined it just noticed that.

That was my mistake in posting. It does not matter.

Please see the attached fla in the above post for details

Thanks. However, I am not able to get the rollout effect in my fla, and I did not see any rollout happening in yours either.
Did I miss something?
Thanks.

Just add some animation. All I read was something about the Macromedia menu, so I posted the above…perhaps I could’ve done more than a cursory read of your post.
