Author making a flash button from exported Illustrator swf

I have text in Illustrator that I want to turn into buttons in flash. The
letters are white with a 2 pt stroke. I exported them as an swf file and
imported them into flash. No problems to that point. I convert the graphic to
a button and double click into the 4 pane button editor. I do all 4 panes and
click back out to the main file. When I run the movie to test the button, I
get a strange reaction. As I move the cursor over the button, it turns into
the white hand only when the cursor is over a letter. So when you swipe the
cursor across the button, it jumps between the hand and the cursor as it hits
the blank spaces between letters. I seem to recall being able to set a hotspot
for a button to define when the button activates, but I can't seem to figure it
out.
