I know , but for some reason it won’t work when I use FF I had to switch to Opera and post again.

dSKY:

I know this is an old post, but I am still having troubles. Where do I put this code?

My file basically looks like this: the _root contains a movieClip with the instance name of “nav”. Inside this clip are 4 buttons. Also inside this “nav” clip are 4 movie clips containing the animation I want to expand and contract.

I am assuming I need to put the code in the movie clip that has the actual animation. But, now we are 3 levels deep: _root, nav, animation1. “this.onEnterFrame” is referring to animation1, which is where I put my script. And “clip” I’m sure refers to btn1. However, btn1 is 1 level up from this animation. I basically changed the code to this, and it didn’t work. What am I doing wrong?

 _root.nav.btn1.onRollOver=function(){
 this.mcAbout.onEnterFrame=expand; } 
_root.nav.btn1.onRollOut=function(){
 this.onEnterFrame=contract;
 }

function expand(){
 this.nexFrame();
 if (this._currentframe==this._totalframes){
 delete this.onEnterFrame; }
 } 

function contract(){
 this.prevframe();
 if (this._currentframe==1){ 
delete this.onEnterFrame;
 }
 }
