without using alpha 0% in Flash5 this is the problem. i want to make a button invisible. however, since using alpha 0% will create colordifferences with 16bit colors, I want to use \_visible = “0”; (like you would on a MC). one option is to put a MC inside the button and make that invisible, but obviously you can’t without an onClipEvent handler, but if you do so, it doesn’t work. puting the button inside a MC is the second option, and with the \_visible command it works… however, it also stops the button from working. is there a way to get a true invisible button that still remains clickable??? ---

mmmm, if the answer is that just puting somthing in the HIT state of the button, and leave the rest empty, would do the trick, just say Yes… i’ll be sitting in the corner there, feeling mighty embarrased… ---
