Any chance you could suggest how to keep the scanning cursor from continually triggering a mc? Everything you explained works great but when I roll the cursor over a mc it triggers the mc over and over as I roll over the hit spot. I’m using a mc instead of a button. I want the mc to play only once while in the area. Make sense?

Here’s my code.

Mouse.hide();
crosshair.startDrag(true);

btn_mc.buttonMode = true;
btn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onButtonOver);
btn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onButtonOut);

btn1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onButtonOver);
btn1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onButtonOut);

function onButtonOver(e:MouseEvent):void

{
e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay(“over”);
}

function onButtonOut(e:MouseEvent):void

{
e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay(“out”);
}

btn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void

{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(“http://www.arcutech.com”));
}

This tute has been extremely helpful. I use lyda.comtraining videos but this written tutorial, with explaination of actionscript, works for me at my current skill level. Thanks..
