So, I need to make a button. However, when I make the button... and select it to apply actions to it... the action panel says: "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it.". How do I... do this... --------------------

iirc flash is a dumb piece of crap where you need to make two things to do one thing

for instance, if you wanted to make clickable text, you have to make an invisible box around the text that you click on instead (otherwise the gaps between the letters don't respond to clicks.)

i imagine you place a similar box arfound your button and it will let you click on it

the problem is i don't know what kind of invisible box you need. Flash has like 5 objects, and only one of them works well for having scripts applied

QUOTE (Ryo)

its the correct form of to.........lemme run it down for ya

to is used when your talking about the number. good way to remember this: to has to letters

too is used when your talkin about actions in stuff.

two is used when your talking about places and locations

This I can help with. Assuming your using Actionscript 3.0

Create 2 layers name top one actions and the bottom one buttons.

For the buttons, we are going to use the Button Component. To get an instance of the Button Component go Window --> Components to open up the Components Panel. Look under the User Interface category to find the Button Component and simply drag it onto stage.

Give it an instance name of test_btn and a lable Test.

Give a frame the label Test.

Now back on the frame with the button click the actions layer, add this to the actionscript;

CODE

stop();

function goTest (e:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop("Test");
}
test_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goTest);

and it should all work. Let me know. ^^
