I’ve been having a problem with getting the hit state of a button to work properly…Even though I designate the hit state to be over the whole button It still remains hard to click…I am able to click anywhere inside the button other than where the text is located…when using static text, it seems to work better but dynamic does nothing when u scroll over the text…its like the hit state isn’t there… I don’t know what to do considering I thought all you had to do was assign where to click regardless of text being there or not. Maybe there is something I’m missing. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. ---

You could also make a shape button and put the alpha mode down to 0% and then put text on top of it. That way you would have a larger button area, and it would still have the text on it.
