Re: FLASH: button detectors and opacity

[J]

Steve,


I may be totally missing your question, but thought I would throw you a

suggestion.


If the text symbol is created as a button, you can make a keyframe in the

"Hit" area of the button timeline that will define where the button is

"active."  


Create a keyframe with your text in the "Hit" area. Draw a box around your

text and fill it in. The box will be completely invisible in the movie... it

only acts as a definition for the active area of the button.


Hope this helps.


J
