rollovers

[thomhee]

I have some buttons where upon rollover, the buttons changes color and some text appears over to the right of the page, but now everytime my mouse enters the area where the text is supposed to appear, it sort of acts like a button and my buttons start doing their rollover thing. How do I fix this?

Make the hit area of the button (the keyframe that says 'hit') contain a shape that acts as the active area or "hot spot".
Right now your hit area is not defined and its treating all of the button, including the text, as active.

To tell you the truth, a better way to do what you're after is to make the buttons and the text separate objects.
Make the text a movie clip or something with its first frame empty or set to visible=false.
Then have the buttons target the movie clip and go to the frame that's not empty and/or set _visible=true.
Those are two of many ways you could accomplish this.

Thanks, I had just defined the hit area after I wrote my post and it worked perfectly.

Thanks
