Re: FLASH: **** how do i turn a button in to a movie ***

[Gregg Caines]

If the buttons are in separate layers, you can use a motion tween

to move them wherever you want (or shrink them, fade them, etc.).

You only need to convert them to movie clips if you intend to

move them programmatically (ie with actionscript).


It sounds like you will want a button click to do more than just

start a movie clip playing.  You could get it to jump to a frame

where it moves, or other buttons move (as described in the above

paragraph).  I'm not really sure what you mean by making it "look

like the movie clip has taken over" but I'm sure you can achieve

whatever effect you are going for with a simple motion tween.

That motion tween can be triggered with a simple 'go to and play'

actionscript in your button.


I hope that helps...I'm not sure I understood completely.
