is there a workaround, so that i can use dynamic text as a button? if i use static, it’s blurry, but i can click on it. if i use dynamic text, it’s clear (which i want) but the mouse over for the text is always askewed.

i’ve tried some combinations of nesting buttons in movies, making a zero alpha sensor layer on top, but i’ve never really found out a clear straight forward way to make a button which is as clear as dynamic text and has the correct mouse over reaction

EX: if i wanted you to click on:

\>\> click here \<\<

is that what the whole benefit of buying the flashfont stuff? their ploy?

thanks,
