button text problem...

[spike101]

I've made a simple button that has a colour tween so on rollover the tint will change. I wanted to put a label on the button like 'Home' and have this in black text, sitting above the tween so the color of the text is unaffected by the color change.
I did this just by putting it in a layer above the button, but when you move over the text (because it's not a button), you get the cursor. I want the little hand for a button no matter where the person's mouse is.

Is there a better way to acomplish this without turning the text into a button too and then putting duplicate code on it to go to the same site?

I also tried making a button with the text already on it, but when the color change happens the text changes with it....and I want it to stay black.

I'm new too, but if you want to continue with the way you just did it, select the text, click on "Modify" then "Break Apart" then do it again, click on "Modify" then "Break Apart". Make sure and do it twice, then when you test/publish the movie your cursor won't change.

Hope that helps.

I found out that I was using dynamic text instead of the static. Once I started using static text and converting to a button and then adding the duplicate code, it works like it should.

I don't know if that's the most efficient way to do this.....but it works.
