Hi Everyone.

Finally I’ve been compelled to post a question… The last time I did was two years ago (but I was a guest, so I’m a re-virgin). :sen:

I realize that this may be posted somewhere, so if it is, please send me the link. I’ve been pulling my hair out!! :hr:

Is it possible to create a search button inside of a “button” symbol? aaaaaaand have it only appear on the “over” state of the button?

What I want to do is have an image and then when the mouse hovers over it, it reveals (over the image) a search field where you can then enter information and search.

I don’t want the search box to be revealed when the mouse isn’t hovering over it. I’ve tried alpha, everything.

Please tell me there’s a way to do this. I’m losing my mind!! I know it’s probably simple, but :puzzle:

Thanks for your help.
