Re: Animated Buttons

[Jason Nugent]

	hi Roland,


	To create an animation in a mouse over for a button, you must 

first create a symbol (a movie clip, in particular) which contains the 

animation you want to show.  Then, you create the button you want to 

use.  In the "mouse over" frame, drag in an instance of your movie clip.  

Now when someone moves over your button they will see the movie clip. 


	Note that movie clips do not play in edit movie mode - you must 

first either preview the movie (CTRL - enter on a PC, and I assume 

Command - enter on a Mac), or export it to a swf file and preview it that 

way.
