hey list --
i have a problem. i am trying to limit the number of graphic cast members
that i have for navigation. I was attempting to create 1 text cast member
with return delimited lines. Then using mouseWithin i get the line loc and
swap my colors ect. I have tried this before but had to abandon because it
seemed as if when you are using mouseWithin it slow the rest of the
animations down at the same time. I am including the code. Can someone guide
me on the "right/better" way of accomplishing this? much thanks
