Move to 'Hit' state of button via ActionScript?

[starblood]

Is is possible to move frames in a button symbol with ActionScript rather than rolling over the button itself?

For example could you achieve the rollover ("Over") state on a button by moving your mouse over another unassociated graphic?

Code snippets would be appreciated if it is possible.

No. You would need to use Movieclip instances with frame labels instead of button instances.

Within the MC you can add a button with an action like this:

on(press){
   _root.theOtherClip.gotoAndPlay("frameLabel");
}

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!

Cheers pixl8r, your help is much appreciated!

What I was trying to do isn't that crucial, but would've finshed the project nicely. If I get chance I will give your solution a go.
