Nested movie clips and actionscript

Question

I have this code set up:
/* This is to get the rollover menu movie clip */
this.profile_button.onRollOver = function(){
profile_button.gotoAndStop("on");
/* This is to get rid of the rollover menu */
this.profile_button.onRollOut = function(){
profile_button.gotoAndStop("off");
/* This tells where to go when someone clicks on menu 1 */
this.profile_button.profile_menu_1.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("5");
/* This tells where to go when someone clicks on menu 2 */
this.profile_button.profile_menu_2.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("10");
This is on the main timeline and menu_1 and _2 are in the
Profile_button movie clip. When I export I get the drop down menu
but when I click on the menu items it won't do anything. Any help
would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

i'm not sure what direction you were going with loading a
Movie Clip, but there are many ways you could go here, depending on
what sort of effect you would like as well. One simple way is that
you could have an invisible button underneath profile_button that
covers the screen which acts to remove the menu buttons(and itself)
on rollover. So in other words, rather than
profile_button.onRollOut, you're doing more like anything other
than profile_button.onRollOver... make sense? if that doesn't work
for you, you could check mouse coordinates every x milliseconds by
setting an interval...
