Hi, I have a problem with a button, it is a rollover button, but when i put the mouse over another part of the screen, it engages the button, probably because the button has a big hit area, how do i sort this problem out?I am a beginner at flash so i don’t know much!Can anyone help?

Is it a button symbol? If it is then you can define the hit area on the hit frame inside the button. Just draw out a square or rectangle on the hit frame and that will be the buttons hit area.
