Roll overs

How can you get rollovers to work..?
I'm using the up,over,down,hit approach.

I can get most working, but the problem is that on the hit frame, the box I've drawn to indicate the clicakble area, goes beneath the actual button, and so the roll over won't work?

Any ideas on how to get around this....

don't really understand - if you put one thing in your up state and something different in your over state then you have a rollover effect with the hit area defining where your mouse can activate the rollover.

Thats just it...the hit area seems to be beneath the button, so the rollover never happens. If I make the hit area larger then the button, then I hove over that invisible area when testing...then it will work, but not otherwise.

Any ideas?

btw: thanks for the help
