[thats all folks]

invisible button, just use the hot spot("Hit") on a button. Then drag from the library over the object/word and apply some as to it.

What he means is, create a button as you would normally but only with a 'hit' frame and no actual visual content. these are called 'invisible buttons' as they retain all the functionality of a button but cant be seen. then place your invisible button over the content you wish to give button functionality, and make it do what you wish it to do.

heres some simple code, assuming you created an invisible button named 'myButton' and placed it on the stage:

myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, traceYeah);

function traceYeah(evt:Event){
trace("yeah");
}
