I have tried everything I can think of to make this work.

If you will, go to [www.tejaslanguages.com](http://www.tejaslanguages.com) and mouseover the links at the top. You will notice that over the text, the cursor changes and the button is not selectable.

The text is a static text block that has been converted to a graphic which has been added to a movie clip which is embedded inside of a movie clip. There is even an invisible graphic in the movie clip on a layer above the text. I have tried everything I can think of to turn the text block into a graphic so that it won’t be selectable like that.

You can access the .fla at [www.tejaslanguages.com/tejaslanguagesred.fla](http://www.tejaslanguages.com/tejaslanguagesred.fla).

Any help??

Thanks!
