Hey Spurtnik, Phil, and anybody else out there:  (I�m making the assumption that other people besides Spurtnik, Phil, and I may be reading this post.) 

I just had an idea.  If you will notice, after you click a button and it flies out to the right (and stays there � by design), it will fly back in if you hover over and then off of the button you originally clicked to bring it out.  What I�m wondering is, would it be possible to, when hovering over a new button (while a word is staying at the right), trick every button, except the one you�re hovering over, into thinking that the mouse has hovered over and back off of it?  (Man, this is hard to explain!) 

In other words, when you�ve got a word out at the right, it will go back in if you use the mouse to hover over and then off of it.  So, could you mimic that action with code (instead of actual mouse movement over the button that corresponds with the text you wish to retract) when you hover over a new button?  This would be necessary, obviously, because the mouse would be busy hovering over another button.  The effect, then, would be that any time you would hover over a new button, that would trigger the text, associated with the previously depressed button, to come back in.  Thus, you would be doing automatically, via scripting, what you can do manually.  Does this make any sense at all? 

This may be a really dumb (and maybe impossible) way to do this.  I�m not sure.  But, I will give you an indication on my level of intelligence on this stuff� I am quickly building a comprehensive collection of �For Dummies� books.  (Now, if they would only make a �LiveMotion Navbar Scripting for Dummies� book.  That sound like it would be right up my alley.)  :-)
