onfunction/offfunction image switching using a 'swap' script

Hi Guys,
I have a problem Milonic Menu v5 to do with onfunction/offfunction image switching (using a 'swap' script). This can be seen by going to my home page http://www.the-limes.com and sliding your mouse to the flashing MENU and then sliding down to the 'Simon's Work' entry on the submenu. You will see that a graphic appears at the bottom left corner of the screen when you hold your mouse over 'Simon's work'. Now move your cursor over the submenu and click one of the items, maybe, for example, 'Information'. Now on the new page repeat the above procedure. This time when you hold your mouse over 'Simon's work' you will not get the image displayed at the bottom left corner of the screen, but you will get a java error
notice:
Line: 21
Character: 5512
Error: Object Expected
Code: 0
I want to use lots of different images for different menu items, but I only have the one image linked to at the moment so as not to muddy the water.
My menu display is created by three scripts:
menu_data.js
Code:
_menuCloseDelay=500;
_menuOpenDelay=150;
_scrollAmount=3;
_scrollDelay=20;
