rollovers

quick question with rollovers. I've set button rollovers on my site, but I think I've done something wrong because when you rollover they don't stay highlighted. Well, here is the example:

Did you add a filled rectangle shape covering the whole area of your buttons, on their Hit states? Looks that only hitting the actual characters themselves, will activate the button.

I did not add a filled rectangle, just copied the frame and changed color. If you could give a quick instruction or point me in the right direction, I'd much appreciate it

In the Hit state of each button (while in edit mode), add a filled rectangle, no border, covering the whole area of your text. That fill reactangle will not be seen in the movie but determines exactly what area of the button should react to a mouseover.

far from a wiz, but i think you may need to burst the text into shapes too.

noticed that my buttons did that until i burst the text...makes it a bit sharper if you're not using the system fonts.
