I have an object which is a bubble. It has 3 states: default, grow, and shrink. Grow and shrink are animated images. When I move the mouse over the bubble it growst to its full size (via animation) and then the shortcuts appear inside the bubble. When I move my mouse away from the bubble the shortcuts disappear and the bubble shrinks. The problem is when the mouse is over the shortcuts the bubble treats this as 'mouse away' and then shrinks. Thus, mouse over shortcut = mouse away from bubble. How do I correct this? I can't figure it out.

wouldn't something along the lines of the 'unscroll' or mask work?

Yeah, I think that was me in the other boards as well. RomanDA suggested the mask effect but I don't understand at all how that works.  It involves alot of scripting, none of which I understand.

a new record. unseating both Scorpio-Logic & Nick Blade.


however, to be fair, probably no more than 3 are due to site issues

Okay, I got the mask effect to work and it is a really cool technique, BUT my object is circular therefore I need it to grow radially. The mask technique does not do this so I still had to use animation (i.e. onmouseleave object state= "shrink") and that brings me right back to square one with the mouse over= mouse away problem. I seem to be going in circles! Am I trying to acheive the impossible here? Is there anything in DX that deals with the overall size/radius of the object as opposed to height/width which gives the undesired effect of 'dragging on one corner' of the image?
