hiya,

this should be fairly simple, but i’m still having trouble.

my interface consists of two graphical moviclips: A and B (B is a palette that contains several movieclips). it should work like this:

- click mc A to show mc B (initially hidden).
- **while the mouse is still pressed** , hover over the various mc:s of mc B. keep track of the mc:s i have hovered over in an array.
- when the mouse button is released, hide mc B.

so… i need to generate somekind of event (like onRollOver) while my mousebutton is pressed. however onRollOver is not fired when the mousebutton is pressed.

any suggestions?

thanks!
