Make the button. Click on it. Press F9. Put in the code under PHP. You’ll have to change the stuff after // to what you want.

You should get a grasp of actions on buttons normally, before using mcs as buttons.

Look around for actionscript tutorials. Try and grasp the basics. I can post the code or a fla - but you won’t learn anything.

If you select a movieclip and press F9 it should bring up the actions window. Select it and right click if you want and go to actions.

Try not to use the normal mode - it’s actually quicker and easier with the expert mode - when entering the commands.

Well that’s the way the rest of us do it. It’s not automatic. And besides, trust me, once you get used to it, it’s much easier, but hey - it’s up to you.

Anyway - just copy and past the code if you want and double check it - at least get to see if it’s working.

```php

// code, could be nextFrame or could be gotoAndPlay(wherever)
// for the rollover
}

```

// and what’s after them. Add your rollover action.
