eh… guys… i need some help in buttons. Pardon my stupidity. Here gones: I created a button, and had some animation inside it. The problem is when I tried to duplicate the button and the animation inside and edit the content. It does edit the content BUT the first button’s content is edited too ! I tried to create another button and create the animation and content one by one but… it’s too troublesome and i can’t edit the properties of the button. And I also tried to duplicate in Library of the first button and edit symbol. But still got the same problem. Pls help me… Guys… Or maybe someone can give me a totally new tutorial or some website to give me some tips. Coz I know it might get too complicated when explaining by words. I’ve been though it. Keke~! ---

It is really simple. All you need to do is instead of duplicating the button make a new one. First make a new button. Then go into old button, copy the animation, make a new movie clip and paste the frames there. Go to your new button and insert the movie clip. Then you can make any changes you want ---

Duplicate the button in the library - there are several ways to do this. The simplest is to find the button in the library (Ctrl+L) right click on the button, and choose Duplicate from the menu. Drag this new button onto a keyframe on the stage and edit to suit.
