I suppose I could do that, making them a single state in ONE mso but then would it not get in the way of my buttons.. I've attached an image as an example of my layout..
Ha ha so simple, i just grouped the images and created a mso out of the grouped objects. un ticked the cross fade so it had no properties. put the buttons ontop of everything in my layers and it worked wonderfully thank you mobly and Laubender
