Button Problems

[elniche1]

I'm having a problem that might be relevant, albeit, a bit more basic than the
one stated in the previous thread. By not having a firm grasp of
movieclipevents I've created buttons that have movies embedded in the button's
"over" state timeline which fade in (displaying text within the movie) when the
user is over the button. The obvious problem is that the movie is engaged when
the user is "over" the stage area the movie occupies. How do I get the movie
to play when there is a "rollover" action with that button and then remain
until a different button is engaged (thus starting a different movie)?
Thank you for your time.

Rather than embed the MC in the button's over state you could place it in the
timeline above the button and have it normally set to invisible and have the
rollOver action of the button set it to visible and any other button could make
it invisible again.

Another option is to make the button a movie clip instead that has button-like
properties. This offers a lot of flexibility.

I do not believe you can disable a button in the rollover state without it
first permitting one rollout.
