Hello forum (i’m new to Flash), I have a question about button creation. Ok, Here’s my problem. I created a button (and each state has the same geometric shape, and I also added text to it using the text tool). i then added it to the main timeline. Now I tested the movie…when i run the mouse over the text portion of the button, the mouse cursor doesn’t turn into a hand. And the button isn’t clickable. anybody help. -bm ---

You are probably using selectable dynamic text. You can use dynamic text, but you must make it unselectable in the properties panel. It is a button that says “Ab” with the “b” having a dark background. ---
