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:
