Newbie Question, Text with shadow included the border working as Button


Newbie Question, Text with shadow included the border working as Button Klaus Dewald

flash (macromedia):
like i wrote in subject i want to use text with shadow as a button. The
text with shadow was created and positioned on the scene. I can change
the propertys for the text to be like a button.
But when i moved the mouse in the film to the text only the text showed
the mousecursor as a hand for the link. But i want the text and the
border and place around the text take action for the link.
What can i do for that?

Thanks in advance
Klaus Dewald

You will just need to make a regular button or movie clip with a solid shape
for a background. In button it has to be the HIT frame which is invisible to user
and is there to define hot spot, an area on which mouse react.
Same with movie clip, tho there is no HIT frame, you still need large and filled
up with color shape. Can be set to transparent but it has to be there.
The shape define the hot spot, if you use just the text, it will be that text
outline.

Hi urami_,
thank you for your answer. But I am a really Newbie to Flash.
Your answer shows me that it should be simple to solve my problem. But i
can't find how. I have two books about Flsh MX but no answer.

Can you help me? What is the HIT frame? Where can i see it or give him
some propertys? Button is a Component from the Component-Panel. That's
right? When i push a button over the text, then there is always a border
with rounded corners and in the swf the button was not transparent. He
looks always green. What can i do?

Thank you very much.
