Hi,

I have a problem 😉

I have a movie clip that is a picture attached to it i have some action script allowing it to move left/right depending on which way the mouse is going. Thats working fine!

Then i needed to add a hotspot button to the animation (just a standard button!) i add this and tested to see if it would work. It does 🙂

But now i want to hotspot to be put on a certain part of the picture and stay on that part so when i move the mouse left/right and it arrives at this hotspot i can click on it. I can’t seem to put the button in the movie clip itself as when i do it doesn’t work!

Please help

Many thanks

For your help

Joe
