Question

clear rollovers from previous scene

Hi, gang...

I'm going out of my mind. I webmaster two Flash (AS2) sites that consist of scenes, and for some reason, it has started happening that each scene remembers the rollover areas from the PREVIOUS scene. They don't clear until you click on another scene, in which case, the rollover areas from the scene before are then still active.

Here are the sites:

Site 1

Site 2

Can anyone think of why this might be happening? Do I need to call some kind of action to clear the rollovers when the scene switches? I'm not super proficient in Flash, and I just can't figure this one out. I'd really appreciate your help.

Thank you!...

Can you provide a screenshot that show what you mean and explain how to reproduce it?  I visited the two sites and I don't see anything remaining from a previous landing point.

Hi, Ned!...

Thank you so much for looking!

I'm attaching two screenshots...one of the HOME scene and one of the TELEVISION scene.

On the HOME scene, there are four buttons on the right side (Rock of Ages, OMC, Cooter County and Twitter...outlined in purple). If you click on TELEVISION in the navigation, in the area where those four buttons previously were on the HOME page, there are rollovers still active. (In the area outlined in purple, the pointer turns to a hand as if there are links there, and if you click in that area it'll take you to one of the links from the buttons before.)

Likewise, there's only one button on the TELEVISION page (the link to IMDb at the bottom). If you go to another scene, say THEATRE, the area where the link was for IMDb still has a rollover area there.

Each scene always has the rollover areas for the current scene but also rollover areas from only the immediately previous scene.

I understand now, thanx.  For those rollovers/links to still be active means they are still present.  That will mean they are either alpha-ed out to 0 so that they are no longer visible (but fully interactive still), or they are hiding behind the new content that took over the area.

You'll need to examine the fla file to see how the content transitions are managed to see why the old content doesn't go away until a move later.
