I’m working on a navigation bar and I’m having a problems with the mouse overs. When ever I quickly move the mouse out of the button as its animating, highlighted button will stay there (it should disappear when i move out of the button constraints)…second, how can i get a thicker font similar to how Photoshop has the font thickness

I’ve attached a .zip file with the .fla and .html files

Heya. I don’t have access to Flash here, so I’m just gonna answer your questions as best I can without seeing your attachment.

Your problem with the highlighted state not disappearing is not an uncommon one. Most people don’t whip their mouse around so usually it can just be ignored, but you can sorta fix it with this workaround. Make a MC to surround the button with the highlighted state, then attach a mouseOver action to the surrounding MC that makes the inner button go to the unhiglighted state.

As for your font question, the only way I know of doing that is to convert the text into a fill, then just stretch it to make it thicker.
