You’ll need to put that button in a clip and tween the clip on your path. Actually, to make things easier and not cluster the main timeline, you could put the whole thing in its own clip that contains the path and the clip.

Yes, movie clip. And the code should be on the button:

```auto
on (rollOver) {
  stop();
}

```

I have tried and failed, I put my button into a clip then in the clip on the button I gave the action on rollover stop.

took the clip containing the button made another clip with a path and put the button clip onto it. put it into the scene and played movie. the button clip follows the path but will not stop on the mouse over.

so on the mouse over state i changed the colour to see if the button would work which it does, but it will not stop on the path.

any ideas would be helpful
