Hello, This is my first post here and it my be a hard one to understand?\r\rOverview----------------------------------\r\rI have four buttons on the main stage (info) (help) (bio) (main)\r\rWhen you Rollover a button it fades to another color/when you rollout it fades back to the original color\r\rI have a script that does the color change because I do not want to use motion tweens.\r\rHere is what I did------------------------\r\rI made a 2 frame MC named infoMC\r\rIn the 1st frame of the MC I made the word (info) a nested MC and attached the color change code to it.\r\r\r\rThe 2nd frame of the MC Is the same as the 1st frame but I revesed the color change\r\r\r\rBoth frames have stops in them\rThe first frame is labeled “over”\rThe second frame is labeled “up”\r\r---------------------------------------------------------\rA button on the main targets the infoMC\r\r\r\r\r???\rNow to my question \r\rDo I have to do this to every button?\rIs there a way to reuse this script for all the buttons?\r\rI would like to find a better way to do this because the file size jumps up everytime I make a new button ! !!! !!! !!!

Well… you might be able to do it with a function… but why would you not do it with tweens IF it saves file size?

-I want to use textfields\r-tweening textfield can get messy\r-I like the feel of a actionscripted color change over a tweened one.

I think upu said it. Put the script into a function, and put the function in the main timeline and then just call the function from the button.

What is your color change code? If I had that I could probebly work out the function for you.
