Fuomo, One more question, if you have the inclination . . . I put the statement on each frame of the button mc, and it works as expected, but as I mouse over the shape, there is a flicker between the up state to the over state - I thought it might be that part of the graphic was transparent and losing focus, but that is not the case?
