Why my button hit state isnt working?

Im working on my About button. Im trying to add a hit state so that when the user points their mouse around about the pointer will appear allowing them to click. The mouse over works fine and the hit area works fine within flash if I enable buttons. However if i go to test movie or export the movie…my hit state becomes very hard to find. I cant figure out why.

Ive attached my .fla

.fla zipped

I think the problem was that the text you were using on the button was dynamic. I changed it to static text, and the button Hit state works fine.

I’ve attached the changed version…

Ahhh ha…Thanks so much!

Just as a side note, Ive noticed a lot of people having trouble with their buttons not working when messing with the hit state - as in completely non functional, not even getting a finger cursor. The reason was because at one point they had a hit state and then deceided to get rid of it but left an empty frame. Though theres nothing in the frame, the hitstate doesnt revert back to the buttons actual shape and still uses that empty frame (meaning no hitstate at all). What you would need to do is delete that frame all together, not just its contents. This can be hard to notice at first too - just looking a buttons frames, it can be easily overlooked that the hit frame is an empty keyframe and not a blank frame.

anywho, just another tid-bit about hitstates
