Adam, Your button works with your assets . . . if you change all of the graphic elements from 'movie clips' on your _up, _over and _down frames to 'graphic' Type - both in the library and above the instance name in the properties panel when selected on stage. Grouping is all right, but no mc can be in any of the frames. With Flash 8 many gurus saw little need for the 'graphic' type, and everything, even graphics, became a movie clip. Now it seems that the lowly 'graphic' type has it's place in a much stricter Actionscript 3.
My only query is . . . for the over state, now I cannot design a whiz-bang graphic tween - since it would need to be held in a movie clip container instead of a graphic container? http://jimbo.us/lab/FinalAssets.fla http://jimbo.us/lab/FinalAssets.swf jimbo *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 6/27/2007 at 9:22 AM Adam Pasztory wrote: >Jim, > >The problem seems to be that each of my button states is a MovieClip.
