onPress, onMouseDown, onRelease etc

Have you ever noticed that problems arise when you use movie clips as buttons, script their functions with AS and then, rather than simply clicking on one of them, you click and hold down. The main problem is that rollOut animations are not played.

For example lets say you have 2 buttons next to each other and you click one and hold down on your mouse, then move to the next button, you’ll see that both buttons now display the rollOver state.

Is there any way around this? I test this on almost every flash site I visit and only a small few seem to be able to get around it. Usually I don’t mind so much because users will rarely click and hold imo, but for the site I am building at the moment I really want to finally know how to get around it. I’ve noticed it does the same thing no matter what event handler I use.

Any help much appreciated…thanks in advance!
