Question

I have this code for my effect to zoom in and zoom out in certains buttons

canada.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, canadaover);

function canadaover(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    gotoAndPlay("canadaS");
    trace("in");
}

canada.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, canadaout);

function canadaout(event:MouseEvent):void
{
     gotoAndPlay("canadaF");
     trace("out");
}

canada.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickcanada);

function clickcanada(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    trace("Mouse clicked");
}

Answer 1

If your buttons are MovieClips you can add inside a layer with a mask (for example rectangle) on top. Mask width and height should be your mouseover region and give it alpha = 0. It will be invisible, but it will work with MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT Events.
