Re: [flasher] making buttons stick

[Peggi & Ben Rodgers]

You need to create an invisible button.  Try this (instructions kindly 

given to me for a Flash 4 project).  I later found this in the Flash 4 

Bible as well.


"You need to invent a button in the form of a movie clip. Make it 3 frames 

and have graphics (not buttons) in each frame with a stop action in each 

frame as well. Then create a new layer in this mc and make an invisible 

button (put a graphic in the hit state only) Then on this button put your 

actions;


On (Press)

Go to and Stop ("labelname")

End On


On (Release)

Go to and Stop("anotherlabelname")

End On


You can use a frame action to reset the appearance of the button if the 

user comes back from another scene."


HTH,
