I have used previous versions of Flash and doing simple button actions were easy, but now in MX 2004 it seems there have been some changes.

I have gone to a button’s action window, scrolled down the action command list to “onRelease Button”. After selecting that, I get “instanceName.onRelease”. Normally, it should read “on (release)”, this is what I am used to, and when I paste the code in the action window it works. However, I want to know how to do these button actions in MX 2004 without pasting or putting in code from scratch.

Is there a way?
