i’m confused… i’m trying to make a movieclip behave as a button… i tried using instanceName.ButtonMode etc… i made up, down, active, and inactive states… i’m not sure i’m understanding the simplebutton class… can someone please tell me their method of making a movieclip behave as a button?!? please?! one more question…i have a “master” SWF that uses AS3-flash player 9…can i load in external SWFs that use AS2- flash player 7?? the 2 SWfs will never talk to each other…they _might_ share variables though… Thanks in advance!
