what are you trying to achieve with this anyhow? a drop down menu type of system or what?

thanks for the help. If you say it can never work, then I assume it can
never work... I'll do a little rethinking as you suggest and use the
oldstyle buttons where needed.

ben, you cannot have a button inside another button...

That is why your code wont work.

paste this over your current code

m1.onRollOver = function ():Void
{
   this.gotoAndStop (20);
};
m1.onRollOut = function ():Void
{
   this.gotoAndStop (1);
};
m1.m2.onPress = function ():Void
{
   trace("HI")
   getURL ("http://www.cnn.com";, "_blank");
};

as you will see the trace("HI") will never fire because the m1 button movieClips hit area will expand to the total size of the movieClip.

rethink your setup, this will never work despite all the help in the world

have you tried that Byron, and does that work for you? I've tried it here,
and makes no difference at all...

strange that such a simple thing is so hard to solve...

Actually try this, instead.

m1.onRollOver = function(){
        delete this.onRollOver;
        //this.play();
        this.gotoAndStop(20);
}
