Hey Guys,

I’m looking to create a sliding menu much like the menu found [http://www.nickelodeon.nl/cartooncreator/creator/](http://www.nickelodeon.nl/cartooncreator/creator/) (it’s in dutch!! beware!!) when you click one of the actors on the stage.

My major issue is this… sure, I could create a movieclip with 2 clips within, alpha of zero and when the mouse is over those pieces I can do the scrolling, but then the clip underneath can’t select the option that is underneath…

Does anyone have any idea how to do this? I’m coding in AS3 if it helps…

Thanks,
