animated text as button...need thicker

[shadkeene]

Hi,
I've created a movie...http://mindn2matter.com/...where I have text that appears as links next to the planets. If you click on the "hope" planet, two links appear. I had to convert the text to shapes, so they would animate. Now I'd like for the user to be able to click on the words that appear as spokes, and be sent to another site. However, when I converted the animated text to a symbol, it now makes just the actual text...not the spaces in and around the font...links. So its not very user friendly because the link appears and disappears as the user scrolls over it. Any ideas on how to make the whole area surrounding the word "quotes" a button and yet still track it as it moves around the page? Thanks!
Shad

I see... I have a couple recommendations:

1)Make your animations a bit slower... kinda hard to tell what's happening there..

2)When you click on the gray balls, make the animation to stop.

the way to fix you links problem is to do the following:

1)move that morphing text inside a MC.
2)Inside that MC, Create a layer underneath the morphing text animation.
3)In the new layer, draw a rectangle the size you want the click are to be like, and ad a transparent filling to it.
4)add an instance name to the MC container, and apply the actions to it.

done.
