Re: FLASH: Problem with LAYERs

[Joseph Troha]

As far as I know, you would have to have two seperate MC's, one with just the

animating panels and the other with just the animating texts (all with

respective labels and off states off course). Have the text MC in front of the

panel MC (in your main time line or another MC, which ever way you do it) and

then another layer ontop with tranparent buttons which tell target both movie

clips and play the respective labels within each....


If theres any other way, well wow! I would like to find out that one! :)


Hope this make sense?? It's late here and have been working long, so I could

be speaking in double dutch :)


cheers,


Joe.
