Hello All!  
I’m having problems on my invisible buttons. I’m putting invisible buttons that link to an URL. I can seem to play the animation when the invisible button is there. Can anyone please help me and tell me what is wrong? I included the fla file.  
Thank You  
Jdogg

Your script isn’t making much sense…

You **don’t** have a MC to play on the rollOver.

Did I miss something here?

Here you go jdogg (see file).

Here’s the script:[AS]on (rollOver) {  
//mc1 is the Instance Name of the rollOver Movie Clip/Component.  
mc1.gotoAndPlay(“start”);  
}  
on (rollOut) {  
mc1.gotoAndPlay(“stop”);  
}  
on (release) {  
getURL(“[http://www.kirupa.com](http://www.kirupa.com)”, “\_blank”);  
}[/AS]
