Maybe you can help me. I'm creating a button that says Donate Today! I've
created a movie that spells it one letter at a time, one letter per frame.
Once it's spelled I have an underline slide under it then it loops. I did
this by first typing Donate Today! and then created I created a symbol from
it. Then I broke the text apart. Then I inserted keyframes consecutively
and erased the letters as needed.
I then inserted the Donate Today! symbol into a button. I changed the color
of the text in the over frame. I can see the animation but the over frame
only seems to work on the last frame of the animation.
I basically want it to look like an animated html link with hover effect.
The whole button will be one file swf embedded in html.
As mentioned above I can't add actions to my button either. Please help if
you can.
Thanks
Rich
