Proper way to do rollover / rollout ?

[Joe]

This is the effect I would like to produce:

- the buttons that move when the mouse enters.

I knocked this up using a button and a movie clip with a shape tween.

The actionscript I used on the buttons is:

on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("_root.square") {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
}
on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("_root.square") {
gotoAndPlay(10);
}
}

but as you can see it doesnt really work.

What is the best way to create this effect?

Thanks - Joe

Mke a MC with your tween. Put a stop on the first frame of the MC. Dra
the MC to the stage and put this code on the MC.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
if (this._currentframe<this._totalframes) {
nextFrame();
}
} else {
if (this._currentframe>1) {
prevFrame();
}
}
