Aha, I figured out a solution. I just added an if (l.parent) before
l.parent.animateMe(); and it's working fine. I'm guessing it's due to event
bubbling...

Thank you for the suggestion; I tried changing "layer" but I'm still getting
the errors =(. I can't upload the newer version at this moment though.
The reason I have that setBack code in the onprecreate is because I have
buttons that are added to the menu after it has been created, and the menu
then resizes itself to fit the new buttons (trying to use good OOD).
Once again, the html is at http://anarchos.xs.mw/dhtml/anarmenu.phtml you
can view the source at
http://anarchos.xs.mw/source.phtml?page_url=/dhtml/anarmenu.js
Thanks,
Anarchos
=====================================================
I think the big mistake is using the reserved word "layer" (NS4 won't like
that)
you could also move this (changed) part into the constructor:
this.setBack = new DynLayer(null,o.w-15,o.h-5,10,3,"#000000");
this.setBack.listener = new EventListener();
this.setBack.listener.onclick = function(e){
var o= e.getSource();
o.parent.animateMe();
};
and keep this bit in onprecreate:
o.setBack.addEventListener(o.setBack.listener);
o.addChild(o.setBack);
Try it though, I'm not sure.
Cheers,
