ok... so I've got a movie clip that creates a square, then plops two text fields into it. One being the title, the other being HTML that contains a link.

Code: [ Select ]
//create movie clip
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("menu_mc",1);


//draw rectangle
menu_mc.lineStyle(2,0xFFFFFF);
menu_mc.beginFill(0x000000,75)
menu_mc.moveTo(0,0);
menu_mc.lineTo(0,300);
menu_mc.lineTo(300,300);
menu_mc.lineTo(300,0);
menu_mc.lineTo(0,0);

//move under mouse
menu_mc._x = _root._xmouse-100;
menu_mc._y = _root._ymouse-50;
menu_mc._alpha = 100;
    
//create menu title
menu_mc.createTextField("menuTitle",getNextHighestDepth(),10,10,280,30);
menu_mc.menuTitle.text = "Menu";

//create contents
menu_mc.createTextField("menuContents",getNextHighestDepth(),0,50,280,100);
menu_mc.menuContents.html = true;
menu_mc.menuContents.selectable = true;
menu_mc.menuContents.htmlText = '<a href="http://www.google.com">Click Me<a/>';
  1. //create movie clip
  2. _root.createEmptyMovieClip("menu_mc",1);
  5. //draw rectangle
  6. menu_mc.lineStyle(2,0xFFFFFF);
  7. menu_mc.beginFill(0x000000,75)
  8. menu_mc.moveTo(0,0);
  9. menu_mc.lineTo(0,300);
  10. menu_mc.lineTo(300,300);
  11. menu_mc.lineTo(300,0);
  12. menu_mc.lineTo(0,0);
  14. //move under mouse
  15. menu_mc._x = _root._xmouse-100;
  16. menu_mc._y = _root._ymouse-50;
  17. menu_mc._alpha = 100;
  18.     
  19. //create menu title
  20. menu_mc.createTextField("menuTitle",getNextHighestDepth(),10,10,280,30);
  21. menu_mc.menuTitle.text = "Menu";
  23. //create contents
  24. menu_mc.createTextField("menuContents",getNextHighestDepth(),0,50,280,100);
  25. menu_mc.menuContents.html = true;
  26. menu_mc.menuContents.selectable = true;
  27. menu_mc.menuContents.htmlText = '<a href="http://www.google.com">Click Me<a/>';


This works just fine...

but when I add:
Code: [ Select ]
    menu_mc.onRollOut = function()
    {
        menu_mc.unloadMovie();
    }
  1.     menu_mc.onRollOut = function()
  2.     {
  3.         menu_mc.unloadMovie();
  4.     }


I'm no longer able to click the textfield... any suggestions?
Any ideas?

I would assume whatever content you "unload" is defining a hit area in your clip. Instead, make a completely transparent movieclip inside your menu_mc and call your button actions on that...

Code: [ Select ]
menu_mc.menuBG_mc.onRollOut = function(){
this._parent.loadedMovieHolder_mc.unloadMovie();
}
  1. menu_mc.menuBG_mc.onRollOut = function(){
  2. this._parent.loadedMovieHolder_mc.unloadMovie();
  3. }


Basically your killing the button by unloading the clips content.
If at first you don't succeed F1... If that doesn't work try Google!
