Sure, it's just a matrix of invisible buttons included as the first

frame of a Movie Clip the button initiates a tween that goes down and

fades out (alpha 0).


There are two different ways to do the follow the mouse one with nested

buttons and the other way is with a matrix of buttons. In these two

cases it is easy to tell they are using the matrix of buttons because

there are gaps allong the edges where there are no buttons.

It seems both are done by copying the example at Flash Zone, it is

called Cool Mouse II. They both seem to have the same round hit areas

for the buttons
