Hello there,

What you have to do is make a invisible button ( only use keyframe on “HIT”),  
and choose the size you want for the button.  
Then put that button on a top of your pic…

like Iammontoya said, convert your graphic to a movie clip, then u should be able to use

```auto
on(press){
gotoAndStop(frame);
}

```

I had made a round button with the frame in ‘hit’ then put over my current button but it still display “Mouse events are permitted only for button instances”.I already make a button ,why still can’t access???

Do you have the script in the wrong place? The script should be in the invisible button, not the graphic.
