Ok, I’m not sure how to convey this, but I’ll do my best.

I made a simple header for my company, you can see it at: [www.ensim.com](http://www.ensim.com)

You can see that there are simple roll overs for the header (this is the middle part with the photo on it and the buttons on the right); you rollOver one and the photo changes.

Never one to leave well-enough alone, the boss wants to add this wrench to the works:

He’s not sure that people will “get” that you can hover over the buttons and will never get to see the photo and message change. So he wants the photo/message to kind of rotate through on a loop, then have it so you can override the rotation by rollingOver the button. Ok, no problem.

BUT I would like the button’s rollOver effect to be seen with the cooresponding photo/message. This is what I can’t figure out, without trying something hacky.

Is there a way to throw some code in that says like "mybutton.gotoandstop button state “over”?

Is that as clear as mud?

Just set a variable for the button in the “over” keyframe

I’m sorry, color me dense but I can’t piece the rest together. I’m more of a designer than a programmer.
