that was so great and the steps are really easy to fallow. What about adding an action script to the button?
I really want to know how its done..

thanks for this tutorial.
do you know how to stop a button going back to the over state once its clicked? basically so that when you click a text box appears without having to hold down the click.
ive tried this after converting the down state to a movie clip and the over state also with stop functions on both frames. the down state has a gotoAndStop function on the frame where the text box located but after I release it goes back to the over state.
I have another problem with a simple colour change to text.
The scripting is fine and the colour fades in and out with the assigned MouseEvents but the problem is when i go in and out quickly over the text the frames seem to get mixed up. the over state is now like the up frame of a button and the and the up state is like the over state, when I hover over the the text it has lost the fade and the frames are playing backwards.
Any ideas why this is happening and do you know how to solve this problem. sorry for posting this as a comment but your contact specs advise not to send questions.
