We have done this on many an occasion. Set up a movie clip with three

instances of the button (Mouse Over, Mouse Down and Faux). Instead of

having the same button do mouse over and mouse down you divide the work.

1) Mouse over only and would do its mouse over action and go to frame 2

of the button MC assembly.

2) Mouse down is here, a mouse out would go back to frame 1.

3) Mouse faux would be one of two ways depending on whether time delay

is a constant number of frames or not. 

3 with Consistant delay) then frames 3 has faux button with empty frames

following for delay. In last frame (on Actions layer) you would have an

go to frame 1 action.

3 with Variable dealy) Frame 3 (no empty frames following) has a stop

action with faux button. Return to frame 1 (of this button MC) is done

with Tell Target by the external running animations you are delaying

mouse action for.


You need to change original actions from Go Tos to Tell Targets (TTS)

and change the paths of the TTs as needed.
