    How can I make this button light up when you put your mouse over it?

    Hello,

    I know how to create a basic button and have the color change in the "over" state. However, this button has a flash effect when you rollout from the button. The flash movieclip is in the "up" state of the button, and when I try to add a color in the "over" state, it disrupts the movieclip and doesn't work.

    Can you help? I just want the button to light up when you put your mouse over it and when you take your mouse off, for the flash effect to occur...

    I'll attach my file so you can see this better!

    Thanks!

    Buttons can not have a mouse out animation. You need to make it the other way around.

    You make a movieclip ( that acts like a button ) with all animation on its timeline. Then you put a button inside the movieclip to navigate the animations.

    Simple example...

    Pellepiano,

    At first the link didn't work, but then I was able to find the file by going to:

    I took a look at the file.. thanks, it was very helpful!

    I've fixed the button using your method. For those interested, I'll post my fixed version.

    Thanks!
