Is the tell target technique for rollovers used to get rollover effects such as that on [thehulk.com](http://thehulk.com) (rollover “the movie” button). Or is it something else? If it’s something else please explain, thanks in advance.

Looks like a simple tell target to me, but if you wanted to be really slick and self contained _thinking off the top of my head, feel free to contradict me_ you could put the movie clip with frame labels on one layer, ie…

[P Hulk appear-----\>][P Hulk solid][P Hulk fade----\>0] (represents mc timeline)

and assign the tell targets to each state (up, over, down, hit)

```
                       UP OVER DOWN HIT 

```

Layer 1(actions) [a] [a] [a] [0]  
Layer 2(mc) [0-------------]

to control the movie clip in layer two.

But, other than the alternate suggestion, yeah, it looks like a tell target to me.

One more things about buttons, I notice on my buttons it’s sometimes difficult to click because on some points it doesnt turn into the “hand” or it has to sit there and turn into it…on other site it automatically does it wihtout barely being near it. Is there anything to solve this? I hope I’m making sense.

Put a shape in the hit frame of the button that covers the entire area that you want to make the button active.

That’s controlled by your “hit” frame on your button. try just drawing a big square in that frame and watch your buttons’ clickability increase.
