Hi guys,

I was hoping to have some help here after I have tried looking for a solution for this issue and many of them come close but do not accurately apply to my situation. I have several roll over invisible buttons as well as their corresponding mc buttons embedded in a mc, lets call parent\_mc. The roll over function not only stops working, but the animation of the corresponding movieclip buttons now keeps looping even without a rollover triggering it.

Is this just a simple case of disabling the parent movieclip? If so I am not sure how so.

All buttons work fine before embedding them in a parent movieclip. I believe it is not too complex of a problem for you guys as im a newbie. Very much appreciate the feedback![/QUOTE]

Not sure if this will help but I will provide the source code:  
AS on main timeline defining the action of the roll over animation buttons:

\_root.btn1.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (mouse\_over\_cube1) {  
\_root.cube1.nextFrame();  
} else {  
\_root.cube1.prevFrame();  
}  
};

\_root.btn2.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (mouse\_over\_cube2) {  
\_root.cube2.nextFrame();  
} else {  
\_root.cube2.prevFrame();  
}  
};

\_root.btn3.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (mouse\_over\_cube3) {  
\_root.cube3.nextFrame();  
} else {  
\_root.cube3.prevFrame();  
}  
};

AS of a invisible button:  
on (rollOver) {

\_root.mouse\_over\_cube3 = true;  
}

on (rollOut) {  
\_root.mouse\_over\_cube3 = fstartlse;  
}

on (release){  
getURL("/");  
}
