Button config messed?!?!?

1

hey, i just created some buttons for my site. the problem is, is that you can click on the buttons from anywhere, meaning even if you arnt over the button, there is still the small hand. this posses a problem because my buttons are right next to each other and when you put the mouse over the button you want, it does the animation and click to the wrong one. i think its something to do with alignment and mouse over, but im not sure

please help

check your hit-State…do they touch/overlap ???

3

no

4

are they MC’s or reg. Buttons ? …

really do need more description of what you have, the code, etc.

5

yeah, sounds to me like you are using mc’s and have the bg as
the entire hit-area.

they are regular buttons that link to an external swf. i cant attach a file cause its too large, so ill do my best to explain.

i created buttons to link to my other pages. however, when i mouse over one, the other button gets moused over instead and you cnat click on the button you want becuase the alignment is off. i dont have actionscript, only to link to my external swf…
no im not using mcs, just buttons im sure of that. its wierd because if i try putting them spread apart they work fine, but are not overlapping in the tween for the button

btw, how do you make a button play a song, i know how to stop the music but not play it.

7

is your code on the symbol and not the instance(s) ?

8

yes

9

put it in reverse and code ONLY each instance sepparately

10

you do u make a song play on the click of a button

11

simple on(press) or on(release) loadmovie(“name.swf”) will do.

12

simple sounds can be planted on the (any) state in the button timeline… (search word sounds for more)

for full songs to play read in here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/loading.htm

…scroll down near bottom of page

Yeah like he said - make a clip/swf where the song will live until your button code tells that clip/swf to play/load
