FLASH: <no subject>

Title: <no subject>

While I understand the second
question, I am not sure I follow your explanation for the first. Please bare
with me and forgive what might be novice questions. Okay, so there is a
button, say a square with the text FG3 (to go with the macromedia gallery
intro).  this button has 4 states, of which the "over state is deleted".  I
take it that means the keyframe is simply removed?  I'm not sure what you
mean about creating a separate movie.  Do you mean create a new symbol whose
behavior is "movie clip" then drag that movie clip from the library to the
over state?  When you say to position it in the up and down states, does
that mean so the position for the states is the same?  I don;t suppose you
could give me an extremely brief little step by step run through I could
follow to get a "motion blur: style effect?  At any rate, I appreciate you
help!
