Why are states locked and how can I unlock them??

I would like to use "states" for a game. Have the user click on certain shapes with text that he thinks are the correct answers, and when he clicks it will be revealed if he is right or wrong. So when I go into state view, the "down" state makes the shape (or button) move to another area of the page and it's locked. I cannot get it unlocked so that I can put the shape wherever I want. I want to just leave it where it is. On a related note, I am completely dumbfounded as to why Captivate has these "over" and "down" states that make the button move around the page. Does anyone know why this would be useful in any way? It's actually quite annoying - every time I make a button I have to go into state view and delete the down and over states because of this. What use are buttons that move around the page and that users can't click on???

Anyway....does anyone know how to get the shape/button unlocked so that I can actually use the down and over states and make them do what I want?

Thank you,

Tanya
