Button Bug in Flash 8 Pro

[mantrix]

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help with this and that its not an actual bug with Flash in general...

I have a movie clip with buttons inside it.
When I press a button it tells the movie clip to gotoAndStop(2)
which presents a duplicate of that button. When I press that button it tells the movie clip to gotoAndStop(3), etc... the result being that I can click the buttons continuously, and the movie clip scrolls through giving slightly different actions on each click... no problem there...

I also have a combobox outside the movie clip which tells the movie clip to gotoAndStop(2) etc... no problems there either, but after I change the combobox...

the original buttons I mentioned lose their ability for continuous clicks.
I have to click, then move the mouse a bit for the rollOver to be detected. If I don't move the mouse the button doesn't work.

So now I can't just click click click any more...

Its strange because it works when the file first loads, just not after certain other actions have been activated.

I've gone through the scripts with a fine tooth comb and I certainly can't see anything unusual.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,
Rich

Maybe you should attach your .fla, so that someone else can fine tooth comb it!
