Re: setInterval and Behaviors

ok, heres a dumb question, but why are you using setInterval and not 
setTimeout? your interval immediately calls a function that clears itself. 
in either case, the scope of the "down" variable is local to the "LowerMenu" 
function and is undefined in the "lower" function, so its my guess that 
thats whats crashing it. - Cyanide
