Motion not workig properly, please help!

Hi!
I’am new on flash mx, I’am trying to make an animated button, so i seach here on kirupa for that and found one article but i think it was from flash 5.
I allready can make it work :slight_smile: but there are something still missing that i just dont know why it wont work properly.
first i created a graphic on the stage, then convert to button, on the button over state i converted it into a movie clip, till now everything is fine, I created in the movie clip a second layer where i wanted to put some animation like alpha and motion, but it doesn’t work??? on the stage the alpha is working but don’t have the motion effect???
probably it’s easy but i can’t make it work??
help me!
thanks
