Button rollover help

hello everyone, this is my first post here as a flash noob, and i doubt it shall be my last.

i’m having a bit of a problem with my buttons, i am using flash mx, but used the flash 5 tutorial to make them, my problem is that whenever i test the page, it never does the rollover effect i want, if it does it is in a very obscure and small area on the button, i want to know if there is a way i can change that to make the entire button do what i want it to do

thanks ahead of time!

there’s another thread, just below this one with the same question and similar answer. Please check it first.

basically/ dbl click into your button and make your new effect into the “OVER” frame…

is there anything in your hit area? if not… then

create an empty frame on the HIT area and create a box that could fit the whole button… :smiley: your button should work now… :smiley:

remember, dynamic text doesnt work well with buttons… so if your converting a text into a button, make sure that its static. :smiley:

:wink:

doOfus,

What if the text only looks sharp when it’s set to dynamic??

Is there a way to create buttons from dynamic text?? The ones I tried don’t act as buttons, just as text.

Thanks in advance,

uh… hmm. as far as i know… its really not advisable to use dynamic text… :frowning: coz it messes up the whole hit thing…

but i think you can use html to get your dynamic text to link to another part of your site… but you wont be able to add some nifty effects and stuff…

but im really not sure…

you can use dynamic text on your buttons , just make sure the selectable option in the properties is not selected.

ah-ha… thanks guys. The selectable thing worked out…
:azn:
