AS2 - buttons sometimes, cant be clickable, unless you move the pointer slightly

  • I'm using AS2(I know, I know...) to create simple games,
    • however, the buttons I made, randomly stop working (randomly every time I run the game)
    • What it does is basically you click the button once, it does its job, and you can't click it again, unless you move a pointer slightly (it does that will all the buttons).
    • I also have a keyboard short-cuts that does the same function as the buttons, and the keyboard hot-keys are working normaly

and I'm using this script.. 

on(release){ DoSomething(); }

Like I said, the bug is totally random, and have no idea how to fix it :(

fix: can't answer because I'm a newb user for 8 hours:

soo.. i guess it had something to do with focus, becaus i manualy set focus on different items, and for some reason that screws up the buttons... what I tried tho, is select the button, and in the properties under Tracking options, select the option Track as Menu Item, and that fixed it (i think :D)
