I am new to actionscripting and wanted to know how I can create a button that when I mouse over it the color changes from say blue to red. Except that it doesn’t just change color it would change color as if it was in a motiontween, gradually from blue to red, instead of just changing color.  
Thanks williamwright

That’s very hard to do with Actionscript, William. Would be better if the mouseover just made a tween motion start, if you see what I mean.  
You’d have a button inside a movie clip that has a stop action in the first frame, and the something like this on the button :

```auto
 on (rollOver) {play ();}

```

very easy to do without actionscript, WilliamWright. If you havent figured it out yet… let me know.
