Flash Eff Depth

Is there any way to control the depth of using a transition in flash eff? I have created a button where the text uses a text effect. The background should be the hit area of the button. When I mouse over the button the depth is different then set in the movie which changes the mouse cursor from a pointing finger back to the cursor. I want the pointing finger to remain. Is there a way around this?

When the animation begins the depth of the target is changed because the flasheff move the target inside of him. So the target has the same depth with flasheff.

There is a way of getting the cursor mouse to always be a pointing hand. You can put the animated FlashEff clip into another container and then create a rollOver Event. I'll give you a little example.
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverHandler);// mc is the instance name of the clip in which you have putted the animated Clip.
function mouseOverHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
mc.buttonMode = true;
}

If you need any more help, feel free to ask.
