use two sets of movie clips: one for each state (to make it rotate) and one 

for the state's name. Put the names on a higher layer. You can put the 

buttons inside the states or the states inside the buttons, but either way 

you should use TellTarget to communicate with the associated name movie 

clip to make the name appear and rotate. This way each name will be in 

front of all states and will not disappear behind neighboring states.
