Animated 'down' state

1

Ok so my button needs to have an animation of the text out of the screen (sort of)

when I place a regular MC in the ‘down’ frame, you have to hold the button down for it to play out

I did the export and insert method and got skewed results too.

I just need the button, when clicked, to play through the animation once, and move on to a certain frame.

what am I not gettin’ here??

oooh soooo thank you! :pope:

:

a button is a button, not a clip with a playable timeline…except if you make your own movieclip-button (in Flash MX).
whatever you have in each state (4 of em) is visible as long as the state is true;
so a clip in up will play as long as the btn is not rollover; when that happens, anything in the over state is visible etc…
