text link button with mouseover state

[bdog2020]

Hey all,
REALLY simple thing I can't get Flash to do.

I need a text link button that changes color when you mouseover it.

I created it as a button with an Up and Over state with my colors desired. I then created a Hit Area that is the whole button. BUT, when I mouse right on the text, it goes back to the Up state color, but if I'm off the text a bit but still in my hit area, I get my rollover color.

What am I missing here?

Why a text link within a button? That's the conflict!

Clear the url in the url box.
Give your button the instance name of msn_btn.
And on an actions layer, add the following...

msn_btn.onRelease = function(){
	getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.msn.com/",[/URL] "_blank");
};

Works fine then!

Hi oldnewbie,
Thanks for taking a look. My problem is only with the highlighing color of the text, not getting the click to work.

Do you see how in the top example, when you mouse RIGHT ON the text, the rollover color disappears?

Yeah, the text link is conflicting with the button...
When you hover over the text link, you're actually rolling off the button...

So just forget about using a text link within the button, and use something like I suggested above...
