Hi group,

i have a movieclip that when you mouseover shows an flv play controller. I have used a simple blank button to say: show the player on rollover, hide the player on rollout.

The problem i have is that the flv player controls (components) seem to constitute a rollOut event so when the user rolls over the player controls the player hides itself..

is there a way to set mouseover regions with actionscript so mouseover will be uneffected by other btns and such?

Searched the forum and web and couldn't seem to find anything and im sure this is pretty straight forward.

Thanks for any help available

Like everything else, Flash handles buttons based on depth. If buttonA has a higher depth than buttonB - you will not be able to access buttonB (assuming it is completely covered by buttonA).

So, if you want to "disable" the rollOver effects on the video player, place a 'dummy' button over the entire video player (or portion you don't want affected by rollOver commands). Then, you can disable the hand cursor that appears over buttons by...

Code:

dummyButton.useHandCursor = 0;

Now, the video player will be unaffected by any rollOver/rollOut commands. Next, place your movieClip controller you made above the dummy button and you're good to go.
