I have try to create a button but when I run the .fla file, I point my mouse cursor to the button but the button didnt function, no hand cursor show out also…anyone know what is the mistake I made?

When I create a button, I use the text tool from the tools panel to write a static text, select the text and right click to convert it to be symbol button, right click again to select Action, write/ paste the active script that copy from kirupa tutorial then save and run the .fla file…BUT it cant work…no function…any problem?? :asleep:

Have you unchecked the selectable button on the properties panel?  
Otherwise, the cursor will change into the text cursor instead of the hand cursor.

You had your text set as dynamic instead of static, I also added a box in the hit area of your button, otherwise it will only trigger when the cursor is directly over the letter.
