I think what she means she wants is, if you roll over the button and rollout

*without* pressing and releasing, you got to frame (2), but if you press the

button, it no longer takes you to frame 2 on rollout. My first thought would

be to have on press actually move to a different button, so the on rollout

wouldn't take effect, but the way Robert said to do it sounds much better.

But my mind isn't thinking actionscript at the moment and I can't remember

if you can do: If not... because what she'd actually want is On (RollOut) If

button not released or something... well or she could just write it as an

else (duh)... something like On (RollOut), If buttonreleased do nothing,

else telltarget /dastage go to and play (2).


ugh, I have no idea if that helped or made any sense whatsoever. :)
