Adobe Flash Button Actions Problem

[tmiya88]

Hi, I'm a beginner in flash.

I'm trying to use action script assist for a flash video in as2.

I made a circle. Then I right clicked and converted to a button. I go into the button and right click HIT to open the actions window. In the actions window it says "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it."





I have tried doing the same this on both my school's computers and mine. It doesn't seem to work :/. I've made a web design before and used lots of actions before, but it never showed this message.

Help please ><.

You're coming into this issue because Flash does not allow any AS code to be placed directly on symbols unless that code comes from the Code Snippets panel. The other thing I want to ask you is why are you using Actionscript 2.0? This version of the language is outdated. If you're going to be involved with OOP in Flash, I suggest you get started with Actionscript 3. Start at the bottom video of this website.
