is it possible to put the actionscript for the button/MC on the timeline in order to easily modify it? Since it´s going to be several instances of the button, if I have to change some AS, it will be easier to change if it is just in one place, the timeline.

It sure is. [AS]on(press) { //action }; [/AS]on a MovieClip, would change to [AS]MCname.onPress = function() { //action }; [/AS] on the timeline. 🙂
