Hi All,

I am having some difficulty in completing the final stage of the drop down menu tutorial ([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dropdownmenu.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dropdownmenu.htm)). I can’t seem to attach the final action script:

on(rollover){  
gotoandstop(closed);  
}

to the invisible button, in symbol edit mode. The message “Current selection, cannot have any actions applied to it” appears. Why is that? Can anybody please help. Thank you

Yours gratefully
