This is a very simple thing but I can’t get it to do what I want. I want to make a button and when your mouse rolls over it, it motion tweens up and down. The problem I have is that I can’t add more keyframes to the over state(is this even possible)???

-Please Help…THANKS

of course its possible!

just go to the ‘over’ frame.  
convert everything on that frame  
to a ‘movie clip’. then edit that  
movie clip.

what will happen is the movie  
clip will play whenever the mouse  
goes over the button.

you need to look up creating buttons with movie clips. That will solve your problems.

Also I don’t know what you mean when you say “motion tween up and down.” Do you mean move the button up and down the y axis?
