Ok, this stuff has got fairly messy...so let me see...
I'm using Flash MX and I have no problems adding on () to a button... so I'm quite confused as to why you couldn't. All I can think of is that it simply isn't a button, but only a graphic.
I suggest that you upload your
FLA file to a website so that we can see it and stop guessing(!) or send it to me directly? karl (replace with at sign) digital-end.com
If you like I can do what you want and send it back, then you can see where you were going wrong?
