Re: FLASH:button animations...

[eriq]

this seems relatively simple. Wouldn't you just insert another movie or

symbol (animated) into the HIT or whichever state of the button you are

trying to make animate? As for the stopping of the button (the flying

around), that i'm not sure of. But animating buttons is pretty easy. It's

just like creating a movie within a movie. If i'm not mistaken, you can

have animated symbols in the states of the buttons correct?
