Hi Kirupa,

I am using Flash 8 Professional and I am trying to have a simple goto action happen when the mouse enters the flash stage anywhere.

I know you can do it with buttons but I kind of want a screen based rollover check.

I found this Screen.mouseOver in the help but I can’t seem to get it to work.  
Heres what help said.

on(mouseOver) {  
// Your code here.  
}  
\*listenerObject \*= new Object();  
_listenerObject_.mouseOver = function(_eventObject_){

- // Insert your code here.\*  
}  
**screenObj**.addEventListener(“mouseOver”, _listenerObject_)

I’m not a super script genius I know enough to get myself introuble, any help would be appreciated.  
Thanks
