Only broken apart text in button is 'hittable'

hi
i have created a button using text, broken it apart and grouped with another object. on the rollover state i want it to enlarge and change colour which i have done but this only happens if i hit the text ‘shape’. i am wanting it to happen when the user just rolls over the general area. i have layed a 0% alpha box over the area in the over state within the button but when published it still only works when you happen to by chance, hit the text…i am a newbie :frowning:

i am also attaching the swf to show what i mean

thanks heaps!
