go to *test Movie*, it will act correctly except inside the button area. I know
this is simple, but I do apprecieate any answers.


Is your *hit state* the same graphic as the up, over or down state?
Sometimes these other state graphics will not easily be clickable if they are
text or thin lined graphics. I always make my hit state a solid rectangular
graphic covering the area you wish to be clickable.

I am trying to do a simple mouse over button. So far I can get everything to work, except when I go into *test Movie*. The button works, but the Hit area acts like it is just the border of the button.
If I go back and edit it, and make the button the whole size of the page, then go to *test Movie*, it will act correctly except inside the button area. I know this is simple, but I do apprecieate any answers.

Thanks

Yeah, I also do it a bright color.
Futhermore, make that hit state rectangle a symbol that can be used on all
button hit states to keep file size down. Then all you have to do is re-size the
rectangle to the desired shape for each button.

Yea, the other guy nailed it. What I usually do is draw a rectangle over the area I want to be the hotspot. I do this on the "hit" frame and I always do it in a bright color, like #66FFFF, just so it doesn't look like any of my graphics, thus distinguising it as a hotspot instead of an element I used to create the button. Since it is only on the hit state, you'll never see it anywhere else so you can make it whatever color you want. I also do this to be consistant.

If all the button is, is a rollover and if the button is an objects besides
just text, then only put images in the up, down, and over, and leave the
hit blank

I have tried a circle, a box and the original graphic. I know it has to be something dumb on my part....

Any other ideas?

thanks

Click the litte icon with the face looking to the left to get my e-mail address and send me the file. I'll have a look at it. You see the little strip of icons above this message on the right, just click on the one with the face.

All that text. You could've just typed in your e-mail address. Couldn't you?

Placing an e-mail address in the body of a forum message like this makes it fertile game for spam-bots to retreive otherwise I would have. It does seem rediculous though but such is life when we have to guard ourselves from the undesireables (spam-bots and such).

Make sense?
