Fixing the Problems in Flash Animated Dropdown Menus

Lately I've received multiple e-mails asking about the Flash Animated Dropdown Menu, and how to make the links work. The general complaint is that for every tutorial readers have seen on multiple sites by multiple authors, the links don't work at all once you finish the rollout / roll up animation. What seems to slip under the radar rather often is the second tutorial in that lesson, where we focus specifically on finding a workaround for the problem of links in nested movie clips and buttons so we can make the dropdown menu work just right.
