All the menu items are symbol buttons, maybe I did something wrong with the “hit” frame? please help me ---

I’m guessing you wanted it to remain blue on rollover, if that’s the case then the blue effect should be on the over state of the button. =) ---

The problem is that you are using one button, over another button, so the over state of the button on top (in this case the text) is what is activated, and since it covers the button below, that over state isn’t achieved. ---

😉 Thanks. And just in case he asks… the method around this it to not use buttons on top, but instead put your text in a movie clip symbol, and apply the actions to the button symbol that is supposed to change blue. ---

Um, the problem that is :sigh: I still can’t think of any solutions. I have the button in my library, and all the instances have text on them. I don’t want to change all those instances into buttons… and i can’t think of any other solutions cause I’m a beginner. Please help me out ---

Drag a button instance out of the library and onto the stage. Apply the appropriate actions to that button. Put the movie clip of your text above the button instance. Repeat for all buttons needed.
