clickable close button on rolloff panel code help

Hello,
I've got a job for an expandable MPU in AS2. When you rollOver the MPU it expands and has a rollOff button covering the whole of the expanded part. But I have also got a Close button on the expanded panel that you have to click to also retract the panel. Could someone please help me in telling me what the code is to allow you to rollOUT of the expanded panel part but onto the Close button without it retracting before you click on it.

Thank you very much

put a simple conditional check in your rollOff action for the rollOff button..

ie:

actionscript Code:

someClip.onRollOut = function(){
     if (this._parent.closeButton_btn.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)){
          //mouse is on close button
          //do whatever you want here
     else{
          //mouse is NOT on close button..nd we have rolled off rollOff button
          //do whatever you want here now..
     }
}
