I cannot get my invisible buttons to work on my header. I have two buttons on
the image, one in the upper lefthand corner and one at the bottom over the
address. The only one working is the one over the address that says
WWW.STEVENSONAUTO.COM

http://www.liquidfirefishing.com/St_Simons_story.html Is this in the code?
This is driving me nuts!:mad;

You cannot use the same instance name for different buttons. Only one will work in that case.

I have fixed that, but the links after WWW.STEVENSONAUTO.COM will still not work.

Rothrock,

When I say invisible button I do mean an actual button with only a hit area defined.

To assign code to an object the object has to be present. If you move your
button functions to the first frame where each appears it will work...

I know, it's enough to drive you up a tree, thru the roof, and elsewhere.

One other thing, you really only need one invisible button in the library...
you can name it "invisible_btn". The same one can be used for all of them.
You just take that same button and stretch it as needed for each use, assigning
each a unique instance name. This will help reduce the file size.

Also, I can't tell for sure what you did for the fade to black transition, but
that could be simplified as well... there are alot of graphic symbols that are
likely produced from whatever you did. They could all be eliminated, likely
reducing your file size even more..

Also when you say invisible you mean having an _alpha or zero or an actual button with only a hit area defined, right?

Because if you do myButton._visible=false; then they won't work.
