Hi guys! i’m new to flash so forgive me if you think this proplem is really easy and lame.  
well, i’m trying to create a rollover that animates when, well, you rollover. i’ve already typed in my code which is placed in the first frame of the button symbol i’ve made which is:

on (rollOver) {  
play() ;  
}

it’s exactly the same that was typed in the tutorial i was following but never the less i keep getting the error message:  
**error** symbol=mushani, layer=button, frame=1, line1  
Mouse events are permitted only for button instances

it’s really annoying because i’ve tried doing everything but i have no idea what i’m doing wrong, ☹ i’d apreciate any help, thanks guys,  
ps. i’m making it on actionscript 2.0 (if that helps)
