Re: FLASH: Text Button Problem

[vachon]

You need to put a rectangle behind your text, and then make the 

rectangle transparent (set Alpha to 0%). This way, the hot spot will 

include the area around the text, not just the letters themselves.

New to Flash. Working on first business site. I have a button that is 

made

of text only. I understand the "hotspot" for the button is the text

itself. Is there a way to make the text not "jump" on mouseover as 

the

cursor may not be exactly on the text when the text enlarges?


The example is at:

bottom left

that says: "Click me..."


Any comments or criticism are also welcomed. Thanks for the help.
