ok, but what are masks and how do u use em? can sumone tel me this or give me a link to a tutorial on how to do it??? thanks!

try using masks ;)

ever looked the help file???? or lessons..... I'm pretty shure that there
was an lesson about masks....

Or you could have the text located somewhere else on the time line, and when the user clicks the button, it tells to go to another frame label where text is shown. You can do it many ways. Read and learn and choose the most appropriate way to fit your problem.

You probably put the text and button in the same Symbol and when you mouseover anyone of these, they uncover the text. I did something like that before. Check this out.

No you don't do it that way, you have to put an action on the button and
tell it to access another keyframe on the timeline. Anything that is part
of the button state itself will be reactive and act like a button.

Good luck,
