One problem with an animated button, plz help.

Ok I have a movie clip and it's animated.

After 20 frames it appears.

Is there a way where I can have the button start working once it is at a certain frame?

Also In the "OVER" box in the button clip is there a way I can tell it to play a certain frame of that movie clip?

yes and yes.

1. I think you mean to have it be a normal movie clip and then after a certain amount of frames have it become an active button. If this the case, just make your movie as normal then on the frame that you would like it to be an active button place a keyframe in the movie timeline and in the property inspector switch it from movieclip to button.

2. Insert a keyframe in the overstate, if there isn't already one there. Open the actionscript panel and use---- gotoAndPlay(yourframenumber);----if the button is nested deeper than the movie you want to play, then you are going to have to target the path first, for example _root.gotoAndplay();

Sick, it works. But for some reason if I want to put my cursor over the image again it doesn't work. Only works the first time I do it.

Run your cursor over it fast. It is staling for some reason.

i noticed that it does it every other time when i mouse over. for instance it works the first time i mouse over, but then when i take the mouse off and move it back over no matter how fast or slow i do it, it doesnt move the 2nd time. then i do it again and it works. and so on....this the problem you mean by stalling?
