HOW TO USE TEXT AS A BUTTON

Question:
When I select a text object and make it into a button, I can only click on it when my mouse is over the text. I have problem that if i am off even only a little, the botton wont work.
Only the text it self is a clickable button.

Answer:
To fix, you need to add an invisible object behind the text using the color-alpha = 0%.
Open up the button, so you can see the frame names up, down,over...
Add a new layer, name background and move it below the existing layer.
Draw a rectangle around text( no stroke)
Open the color palette
With this new shape selected, set the alpha to 0%...
(This is NOT the Alpha in the properties window, but is found in upper right corner)

It will be visible when selected and invisible when not selected. If it does not disapear when you click off, then reselect and set color another color then alpha to 0%
THIS CREATES A TEXT BUTTON WITH A TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND
