I am new to Flash CS4 but not to Actionscript. I have been trying to do something in Flash that I thought would be easy. I have created a movie clip with several frames and have tried to add a MouseOver MouseOut rollover to change from frame 1 to frame 2 whenever you roll over the movie clip. It doesn’t work. It doesn’t even seem to recognise any actionscript whatsoever within the flash file.

If I change the movieclip to a button then suddenly everything does work as I want it to.

Is it possible to do mouse over with a movie clip? My experience with actionscript is that things like Sprites generate mouse events - is it not the case in CS4?
