wow... itz my 3rd question of the day... once again, i have a simple question that is too challenging for me. how do apply an rollover effect on a button such that when a user places his or her cursor on top of the button, the button gets bigger and blurry (in a loop-ing manner). am i supposed to do something with four states of the button (up,over, down and hit)? or is related to actionscripting? or both? thank you very much for stopping by. peace

Ela Alecho...
There r two ways of doing this.
U can put a movieclip with the animation u want in the over state only.
U can place an empty in the first frame and a stopped mc over the button. Then with actionscript assigned in the button, tell the mc to go and play frame 2. Like:
on (rollover){
_root.theclip.gotoAndPlay (2);
}
hey. thanx for replying to my message... i just have few more questions...
1. how do i put a movieclip just on over state?
2. what do you mean by 'stopped mc' over the button? how is that different from the first method?
3. i am kinda confused with the actionscript you told me... (i dont know much about actionscript, sorry)
on (rollover){
_root.theclip.gotoAndPlay (2);
}
what is "_root.theclip"? i see '_root' quite often but what is it?
thank you very much again. peace
make your animation a movie clip
then in the over state of the button
drag the movie clip into the stage
thanx guys!!!
When u put a movieclip in the stage u put an instance of it and not the real thing. So u must name this instance in order to control it. U name it by using the instance panel.
_root represents the main timeline.
_root.theclip means there is an instance called theclip inside the main timeline.
