Movie as button?

Adam...
Thansk for your quick reply. I guess I should have asked this in my original post... if the button is in the movie clip, do I set the button actions in the clip or on the stage? If it's on the stage, how do I assign actions to a movie clip?
There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

You don't need to have a button inside the movie clip, to have the movie clip react like a button.
A simple graphic movie clip, on stage, with the instance name of "clip1" would react as a button, if you simply added the following handlers on a frame action...
stop();
clip1.onRollOver = function(){
trace("OVER!"
;
};
clip1.onRelease = function(){
trace("YO!"
};

Although, in the above situation, if you did have a button nested in the clip with it's own actions, they would be overridden by the clips actions as defined above.
If you want the clip to react independently from the button, you'd better use a hitTest on the clip itself, and that wouldn't affect the button's actions.
