Well, first of all I must tell you that I am a newbie to the whole concept of Flash. Now, my question is how can perform one action on a button, followed by a second one, without it just skipping the first one?

Thanks…:bandit:

Just put the second action right under the first one. It should work, depending on what you are trying to do. For an example, say I have a movieclip with the instance name “ball”. With this button I want to increase both its HEIGHT and its WIDTH by 1. the Clip actions would go like this

on (release) {  
\_root.ball.\_width += 1;  
\_root.ball.\_height += 1;  
}
