Hi

I have created a slide out menu using a tutorial ([http://www.layoutgalaxy.com/html/htmnewletter40-page3.htm](http://www.layoutgalaxy.com/html/htmnewletter40-page3.htm)) the only differences are my buttons slide out to the right and they should do this when the user mouses over and then slide back when they mouse out. Unfortunately I am getting an error on the rollOut which I apply to ‘dummy button’ movie clip in the dropdown movie clip which allows the 2nd menu to slide back. This is the actionscript I’m using:

onClipEvent (mouseUp) {

tellTarget ("\_root.reverse") {

gotoAndPlay (“subbuttons1”);

}

}

Does anyone have any suggestions how I can get this to work (?), I can’t upload the .fla here as it is too large but you should be able to view the tutorial fla if needed…

Cheers
