**1.** Put the button in a movie clip with the instance name of _ **hit\_clip** _ and keep a frame in that movie clip blank so that if you were on that frame the button would not be visible (lets use frame 3 for a demo).

**2.** On the button put this action:

on(press) {  
gotoAndStop(3);  
}

**3.** The button is placed inside of that movie clip so I don’t even need to tell flash where to look because that is where the script would check on default.

**4.** Motion tween the _ **hit\_clip** _ however you like in the _ **\_root** _ timeline (the top directory in your Flash file).

That should work but if not reply back and I will either have you send the .fla in my e-mail and I’ll just fix it and return it to you with a description of how I fixed it!
