HI, I am new to flash MX and I was trying to make an animated button by importing a movie into the “over” buttonkeyframe but I am abviously doing this wrong. How can I “call” a movie into a button?

Thanks!

Welcome cecilia,  
It should work, you must be doing something wrong. Can you attach your movie?

Anyway, I think the easiest way would be to use a clip all the way. That way you don’t have to mix clips and buttons.

Isn’t that sweet :love:

And Cecilia, I don’t see where the problem is since you have that file… I did this anyway, by putting a tween mc inside the over state of the button.
