| step 1: Here's an instance of a bit of text that I've converted to a button. Move your mouse across the text and notice how the button's Over state is only activated when the cursor is directly over the text. (Figure A) Quite inconvinient! | ||||
| A | ||||
| step 2: Double-Click on the instance to edit it (the Over and Down states have already been set for you). Click on the Hit state, Insert > Blank Keyframe (F7), click on the Onion Skin icon (so you can see the text), and use the Rectangle Tool (as shown) to draw the Hit state for the button. (Figure B) | ||||

| step 3: Command-Return to see how much more functional this button is now. (Figure C) | ||||
