I have seen tutorials on how to manually create buttons using Movie Clips and then changing the properties to track it as a Button.

I tried to use the tutorial but it seems like the MX 2004 version doesn’t look the same way or the tutorial was wrong. Do any of you know how to manually create buttons using a Movie Clip in Flash MX 2004 or know of any tutorial that explains this?

The reason I want to do this is to use the on (RollOut) effect in order to display a motion tween.

Thanks  
Mike

Yes we do, but explaining it all would take some time. It’d be easier for us to show you an example. It isn’t that hard, and you’ll understand immediately by seeing the example.
