Okay, I've been working the last 12 hours on an animation.  All the

animating parts are about done, and it's time to add some of the more

complex elements.

Animating is no problemo.  Been doing it right along.


I've been goping through the online resources, though for buttons (yes, I

know buttons are remedial) all the tutorials seem to be giving different

info (likely the same info differently) and the problem comes when I try to

slide a button onto the screen and then have it behave button-like.  on -

over - down sort of thing.  So, do the different states go on different

layers or do they go in different keyframes and how do I tell the program

aside from F8 that these keyframes (yes they are one their own layer

separate from the main animation) are supposed to do button things instead

of play like a regular animation.


that goes for assigning the buttons their important jobs like taking people

to a specific scene and whatnot.  I apologize for all this rapid posting,

but until now all I've ever done is sound and motion.


(and you can bet the next thing that will vex me is insertingthe tiny warm

up animation while we load if that tutorial stops making sense in the next

three hours.)


thanks again for your tips.
