buttons prob

[thisiscosmo]

hey,
i have a flash document with 20 buttons on it, and each one has a rollover state in which a large image appears, often overlapping the other buttons. However, sometimes the other buttons appear in front of the image! All the buttons are in the same layer. what do i do?

thanks a ton in advance.

Even if symbols are on the same layer, they still go above or behind each other, depending on the order in which you placed them on. With your technique, there is no way to get each button's image to overlap both surrounding symbols, because if you symbol is at the top, there's going to be others under it.

Well, one way (which is more complex) is to make a new layer with a few frames ahead of ur buttons. On frame2, have the image u want to show for button1, one frame3 have the image for button2, etc, and make the buttons onRollover gtoAndStop that frame, and make the images buttons and add ur links to them, gotoAndPlay or getUrl, whatever.
