Hello,

I am new at this forum and Flash CS3.

I am trying to add action to my button, but it keeps showing this message. “current selection cannot have actions applied to it”

How can I directly add action to a button, but not on the frame itself?

Antoher thing is about this forum… I didn’t know if there is a way to search for questions or answers. Is there a way?
