why are you removing the click handler when you roll over surely when you click it won't work? and why are you testing for "Home"? what is Navigation doing? how are you generating the item you are clicking and how are you assigning the eventlisteners to it? fetching the text out of a child textfield seems unnecessary when you could use a property or instance variable (i think thats what they're called in OO) of the actual target.i'm not saying any of the code is wrong but without seeing what Navigation does etc we won't know what's causing the problem. can you make a really stripped down program that can be pasted straight into an FLA and tested. put it on pastebin.org thanks, david
