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
