I have 3 buttons lined up that when rolled over, I want an outline i created to move to that button…so if you roll over the button, it moves there and then stays there on rollout. Then, if you roll over a second button, I want the outline to move from wherever it was before…to the current button. What would be the best way to do that?
any ideas?

Hello:
Use
on (release) {
\_root.yourMCinstanceName.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
or
on (release){
tellTarget(“yourMCinstanceName”){
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
}
if your not sure what name you gave your instance click on the target on your bottom right corner and it will tell you where your target is. You change release to rollover, rollOut, ,etc. Hope it helps.

Can be done - but be more specific when you say an outline you did. What exactly do you want to move under/over/above the buttons.
