Hi all,

I’ve got text in a button, and when I mouse over the text, the cursor changes and I can no longer click to go to the button target. I can select the text, but it isn’t apparently part of the hit area.

I’ve got other graphics in the button behind the text, and have also tried explicitly adding a rectangle that is larger than the text in the Hit keyframe, but no luck.

I’ve got to be missing something obvious. Any ideas?

I attached the FLA to this post.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

:)Ben
