I have menulist, build from x number of Movieclips. Every movieclip is given a button child and given/added a texfield by scripting (i.o.w. text NOT in button itself).

The text part on the menubuttons however make the button not show mouse-over states. If I hover over parts where there is no text visible the buttons mouse over state shows fine.

Any way to prevent/solve it? I already have textvalue.selectable = false; but that’s no solution.

ps: buttonitem instances click work fine, they open their links ok.
