    How do you do this? I want to be able to assign on mouse event actions to the button as well, so embedding it inside an mc is out of the question (since you can´t give buttons instance names). I´ve come across this problem several times... please give me a hint...

    What you could do is have the button inside a movie clip that has an instance name. You could then add your Onmouseevent to the button and telltarget back a level and target the movie clip that contains the button.

    I probably could have written that in a clearer fashion. Good Luck

    Similar to what frazeart said...

    The way I construt my complex buttons is to create a movie clip with 3-4 frames, each frame being a different state of the button. Then I place my image/movieclip on the frame and place an invisible button behind it.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,
