FLASH: complex buttons

[Erik Kittlaus]

Here's my dilemma with a button I'm working on:


The button itself has different art for the Up, Over, and Down states. I

also have two animated clips activated by two different actions.


1) I've embedded a clip in the button timeline in the Over state that

animates text sliding in (to the right of the button).


2) Then I have a Tell Target on the "Press" action that triggers a

different animation from a clip that sits directly on the Work Area (Stage).


Note: I have a blank keyframe in the Down frame of the button (no clip).


What's happening is this:

The rollover animation works just as it should, but when I press (or click)

both the rollover animation and the Tell Target action activate. So I get

two animations when I only desire the one. I can't figure out why the

rollover clip is activated on both the rollover and "Press" of the button.


Any takers. . . John?
