Okay, so what I’m trying to do seems like it should be simple, but for some reason it isn’t working.
I’m trying to get an image to appear outside of the hitarea when you mouseover a button (I want the button name (as a .jpg) to appear in the bottom right hand corner of the screen when the user rolls the mouseover the button)
So I have created my button, and set my Over and Down states to include the image in the right hand corner. the Hit state I have made the size of the image that the button is. the Up state I have left as is. as far as I am aware this should work. I have tried to put the image on a different layer, and on the same layer as the button. no change.
the most confusing bit is that with 2 of my 5 buttons, the mouseover image appears, but only when the mouse is rolling over certain random spots that are close to the button but not on it. the problem therefore should be with my hitarea i assume, but i can’t work it out.
As I couldn’t get this to work ‘the easy way’, I have also tried to make a new frame area with the button name .jpg ,included, and have written actionscript (AS3) to move to this frame on mouseover, and back to the original frame on mouseout. the mouseover image appears, but it is flashing. and my original button which is meant to be flashing different frames stops.
any ideas? i’m going crazy trying to fix this!
