Hi, this is my first post so bare with me! Only just started to learn how to use flash but am struggling already. Have decent knowledge of css and html though.

I am trying to make simple text buttons however after I have converted it to a button it is only clickable on the actual pixels of the text (using a pixel font also) not the white space between letters. I assume you need to create an area surrounding the text? What’s the best way of doing this?

How do I enable rollovers in flash? Just want the text to change colour when the cursor is over it. I read you could do this with css but I assume this wouldn’t work for pixel fonts which I am using as they would have to be embedded into the flash file. I just want the link/text to change to grey when the cursor hovers over the link.

Any help would be great.  
Many Thanks
