has mouse left movie yet?

[marc.hm]

ok, still haven't figured it out, can't find help, but it ought to be so easy...

i have a small swf embedded in html (like a banner or so). if mouse enters movie, an MC responds to it's x-position.
easy. i do that with _root._xmouse.
but if mouse leaves the swf-area, that MC is supposed to become invisible. i cannot figure out though when pointer is actually leaving the area. when it does _root._xmouse only keeps returning the last valid value.
Know what i mean?
it's being done all the time, so, like, everybody has to know. please tell me

thank you,

marc

I would do it with an invisible button over the whole banner. And use the on roll out function, I think.

you just make a simble button (square) and modify instance, so it's invisible, and strech it over the whole banner. Then use the roll out function to manipulate the MC.

Bye, Trigi

oh well, yes, you're right, that's the way...

of course, then you have that problem with your mousepointer, which will become that ugly hand thing all the time. but i guess one has to live with that and probably hide it and use something else instead.

all right trigi, thanks alot for checking

go for it...
