I've been using flash 5 to work on a simple game, and the past couple of weeks i've had no trouble using it... well, not this kind of trouble i mean..
I had just converted a symbol into a button earlier today, and clicked for the action window to open so I could code it,
but even tho the little 'show action' button on the bottom right corner is lit up, and the window>action selection is ticked, the window doesn't show up any more..
it worked fine this morning but not now

does anyone have any ideas about this?
i'd really rather not have to reinstall the program, but i will if i have to.
thanks in advance for any help offered.
