on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_picture1_mc = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.mouse_over_picture1_mc = fstartlse;
} on (release){
getURL("http://www.flashfridge.com/", "blank");

}

Step 32

Create a new layer above the Invisible Button and name it action script.

Step 33

Click on the first frame of layer action script and enter this code inside the actions panel:

_root.picture1_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mouse_over_picture1_mc) {
_root.picture1_mc.nextFrame();
} else {
_root.picture1_mc.prevFrame();
}
};

We're done with the first picture in menu. Repeat that process for every other picture in menu.

Bye!
