Hello my brothers + sisters -  
My question revolves around my current dillemma;

**In Flash MX I guess you can’t embedd buttons in movieclips? Are buttons onlly allowed to be static elements in a movie?**

I’m constructing a news section for a site with 3 cycling images in a single movieclip - with the intent to have a layer of 3 buttons within that movieclip, designated to run over their respective images, triggering an html page of news - I did this, exported and uploaded to my server with no luck on the web- the links didn’t work and all I got was a little hand over the images, almost as if the computer was mocking me…  
Does anyone know a way to efficiently use buttons in a variant way I have explained above, or am I just sh\*# out of luck?  
Anything would help.  
thank you

hmm, well it should work. You are saying that putting a button inside a movieclip doesn’t work?? Maybe if you can show me your fla or an example that would be good 🙂
