ok dude, your first problem is that you are using dynamic text. you must change all of your dynamic text feilds to static text, otherwise, you will get that little cursor, instead of being able to see the hand like in a normal button. once you do that, i think you will have a better idea of what to do. :beam:

If I uncheck the selectable option, can it still act as a button w/ the animation?
