When I make movie clips that act as buttons using the Tell Target method or something similar I have a problem that if you roll from the Flash movie onto the HTML too quickly it will freeze in the position it was left at and the resumes when you roll back onto the Flash movie. Is there any way to prevent this?

Thanks in Advance,

Duke

Is there a way to prevent this? Should I just make a slight border between the button and the edge of the Flash movie? Speed up the framers?

just put in a simple script if the \_xmouse or \_ymouse are constant for so many frames turn off the button.

That or increase the frames to 30 and it will have a higher chance to notice it.
