Problems with Collapse menu

kruption · February 23, 2006, 3:36pm

For the past day or so I’ve been trying to figure out why I keep
getting some sections in my menu with a blur to the fonts. I’ve made
sure they were aligned properly and tried different fonts but still, no
go.

The Menu SWF

The FLA
http://www.mooresclothing.com/test/merchandise_content.fla

The only thing I have noticed is that anymore than 3 movieclips within
the main movieclip, it blurs them when closed. If theres more than 3
buttons in the movieclip, it blurs them also. I’m really fustrated and
just can not seem to figure it out. I’ll post the actionscripting
below.

 ActionScript Code:

[COLOR=#000000]var[/COLOR] speed = [COLOR=#000080]10[/COLOR]; [COLOR=#808080]// constant speed for menu opening and closing[/COLOR]
