Hi,
I have created a couple of layers that has the condition that if
the mouse is over the hot spot area then the layer should swap out to
another lay. The problem is that while the mouse is moved, just the
slightest amount, the layers flicker back and forth. Is there a way to
get the MouseOver command to remain activated once it is within the hot
spot? Thanks very much for your help.

That sounds rather easy. Just don't swap the layer back onmouseout.
Another option would be a time delay. Without seeing your code, all is
quite guesswork though.

Thanks for your quick response. How would you set a time delay?
