    background image help

    I made a backround image in photoshop, and saved it as a jpeg. I imported it to flash, then sized it and made it my background. The problem is this- Why can't a make a button over the background image I imported? I can add other layers over it and everything else will work but whenever I try to put a button over it, the button will work in fla format, but will not work when I test it in swf format. Can you only make backgrounds in the flash program and not import pics to use? I'm using the whole image I made as the background, so the button I try to make is on top of it. It's driving me nuts, I don't know how to corrct this.

    put your background on one layer label it background and lock it using the lock. create a new layer(make sure it is above your background layer) and label it button. make sure you are in the button layer when you create your button.

    Hope this helps.

    you have your text on the button set to dynamic. change it to static and it will work.

    the text is also selectable, that is what is disabling the roll over. And try putting a solid shape in the hit state.
