Hi!
New to this forum from today :thumb:
I did the

Creating Drop-Down Menus
by Syko

But when i try the meny button i get this error message :puzzle:

"Error Symbol=main, layer=button, frame=1:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on(rollOver) {

Error Symbol=main, layer=invisble, frame=20:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on(rollOver) {

Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2 "

I’m farly new to Flash, so i don’t know that much about actionscript, but i did everything from the tutorial and it still doesn’t work… what am i doing wrong !!!

Whatever images you are using that you want to be “clickable” or contain the on(rollOver) functions, check its symbol type. Make sure it is the right symbol as the error message says.

There are 3 different types of symbols:

  1. Movie Clip
  2. Button
  3. Graphic

Ye i know… it’s set to button… that’s the strange part ?! :ogre:

99% of the time this message is because you had the keyframe selected instead of the button instance on the stage. please check and let us know.
