Check if mouse in movie clip...?

[MyFlashMXIN]

Is there any easy way to check if the mouse is inside a movie clip...

I'm wanting to check the mouse location, if it's not in my movie clip (drop menu) then remove the movie clip.

Thanks

//This is just a test script.
//Move your mouse around the following coorinates (xMin,xMax,yMin,yMax)
//You see your cursor will disappear.
//You can simply replace theMouse.show() and Mouse.hide() with whatever you
want
//Of course, you can also change the coordinates.
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
xMin = 0;
xMax = 200;
yMin = 0;
yMax = 50;
mX = _xmouse;
mY = _ymouse;
if (mX>xMin && mX<xMax && mY>yMin && mY<yMax) {
Mouse.hide();
//or do whatever you want
} else {
Mouse.show();
//or do whatever you want
}
};

LMAO, that removed my mouse not my MC! :-)

lol...Maybe I assumed too much. (I was trying to show you how to capture the
location of your mouse)

As you can see in my COMMENTS, you can replace the Mouse.hide() to whatever
you want.

If you want it to remove your MovieClip instead, then do that.

I dont know exactly what you want to do, but you can work it out with this
idea...

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
xMin = 0;
xMax = 200;
yMin = 0;
yMax = 50;
mX = _xmouse;
mY = _ymouse;
if (mX>xMin && mX<xMax && mY>yMin && mY<yMax) {
//myMC._visible = true;
} else {
//myMC._visible = false;
//or you could do this as well (assuming you used either
duplicateMovieClip(), MovieClip.duplicateMovieClip(), or
MovieClip.attachMovie())...
//myMC.removeMovieClip();
}
};

In case you havn't figured out your problem yet, here is my finished script:

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
xMin = dropmenu._x;
xMax = dropmenu._x+dropmenu._width;
yMin = dropmenu._y;
yMax = dropmenu._y+dropmenu._height;
mX = _xmouse;
mY = _ymouse;
if (mX>xMin && mX<xMax && mY>yMin && mY<yMax) {
dropmenu._visible = true;
} else {
dropmenu._visible = false;
//or you could do this as well (assuming you used either
duplicateMovieClip(), MovieClip.duplicateMovieClip(), or
MovieClip.attachMovie() to load in "dropMenu")...
//dropmenu.removeMovieClip();
}
};

Yep, figured it out from the last post, just ran out of time to reply... Thanks!
