I’m working on a XML menu similar to the one in this tutorial:

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xml\_dropdown\_menu.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xml_dropdown_menu.htm)

I noticed that the submenus won’t disappear when the mouse isn’t on them unless the mouse button is pressed (onMouseUp). I tried modifying the Actionscript to correct this problem, but I can’t get it to work. How do you fix this problem?

Is there a way you could use something like…

Pseudocode:  
if(mouse arrow is visible)  
CloseSubmenus()
