I am having problems when I click on a button to launch a movie clip. I can’t seem to find instructions on what I could be doing wrong in MX.

I have a button at the bottom of a scene & when I press on it I need text to appear over the background of the scene.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Deb
