Help editing a template, this one seems tricky

Question

Hi,
if you take a look at the
main_v7 swf file (down below), you will see the original
template.
main_v7_02 is the version I'm working on.
the problem: if you take a look at the file I'm working on,
and move the cursor over 'partners' and click on it, you should see
that the photo is getting squashed. I'd like to have the photo
disappear right when the link is clicked, to avoid the squash
effect. The photo is a bitmap. If I turn the bitmap into a button,
the clickable area (or 'hit' area) ends up interfering with the
link that expands the rectangle, so I've given up on that idea.
Anyone have an ideas? Solutions?
Thanks so much,
E.

You could convert the image to a MovieClip symbol and give it
an instance name, then in your onPress or onRelease code you could
just make the image invisible by using:
theinstancename._visible = false
or
theinstancename._alpha = 0
of course you'd have to remember to make the image visable
again afterwards.
