I have created the two MC’s (a “topMenu” and a “subMenu”). However, when I place the two MC’s on the first frame of _root , the properties of the associated buttons get screwed up if I place the two MCs in a verical alignment. It appears that Flash5 makes a consolidated object, such that the _height property for the second MC is determined by adding the _height property of both MCs.
Could you confirm that this is what’s taking place?
Is there a way to use Scope to eliminate the problem?
Other recommendations?
NOTE: if you move the lower MC out to the side, the problem disappears. Although a workaround, this seems to be a poor way for the program to function.
You’re correct… the attached file takes into account changes from Flash 4 to Flash 5. The real problem appears to be how the _height property is determined.
If I place two objects underneath each other, the _height property for the top object appears to be added to the adjacent object AUTOMATICALLY, giving a false _height.
Do you verify that this is what’s happening? If so, it indicates a bug in Flash 5…
