Complex Roll Over buttons with submenu

[makeshiftdan]

Image 1 shows a simple menu.

On roll over I want a sub menu to expand (shown in image 2)

I have the button that triggers the submenu scale in order to cover the submenu because I want the submenu to remain open until I roll out of that button.

For some reason whenever I roll over any of the submenu items the roll out state of the original button is triggered.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Are minor buttons on major buttons DisplayList? and u use MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT or MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT?

[makeshiftdan]

No the buttons are separate sprites, unconnected. I am using ROLL_OUT. Thanks for the help!

And thats the problem. Make major button to extend a bit as a background of minor buttons which are on its DisplayList and use on minor buttons MOUSE_OVER/OUT and on major ROLL_OVER/OUT.
