Trick o' the day:
Make a MovieClip. Inside it put the following frame labels:
_up
_over
_down (optional)
Assign any mouse action (onRelease, onPress, onRollOver, etc.) to the
MovieClip and it will behave like a Button except it's a MovieClip so
you can target stuff inside.

Old school (4-frame) buttons are so nice because they give designers
direct access to the look of the button in each of four states, but as a
programmer they've always driven me nuts. I want to use AS to control
the buttons. I want a set of templates that determine what the body of
the button looks like and the ability to dynamically set the text and/or
graphical "content" inside the border of the button. While I can think
of a few ways to do this, I don't want to reinvent the wheel and I'm
looking for some friendly wisdom. I see the world through the eyes of a
programmer, and I've been a soloist for a very, very long time. New
opportunities call for me to lead and direct artists, and to provide a
framework that won't hinder their creativity.
