i think i may be doing some thing wrong, but when ever i drop an mc over a group of buttons ‘although the mc is currently running’ flash can still detect the buttons beneath it regardless of the layer above.

what am i doing wrong here? i even made a cover mc to throw on top of buttons… still no go. every time the mouse happens over that area it still sees them. some tough little buttons i think.

any how… was wondering if some one could instruct me on what to do here.

Not a stupid question. Not sure of a catch-all way of doing this, but if you assign a simple “invisible” action to the MC covering the buttons, you’ll be able to make them drop their mouse responsiveness:

```auto

// MC on stage with instance name of "hide"
hide.onRollOver = function() {
	this.useHandCursor = false;
}

```

That’ll be enough to cover the button underneath, but it won’t actually do anything to the MC.

you’ve given me new hope.

i appreciate it.

i’ve already made the appropriate changes, and it worked like a champ.

thanks again.
