Hi. I am a complete and utter newbie to Flash MX 2004, so please keep it simple for me. I have just followed a tutorial by Kim Cavanaugh to produce a Flash Photo Gallery. The tutorial was written for an earlier version of Flash, but I managed to follow through the steps somehow. There seems to be a problem with the Action Scripts for the buttons (Back and Forward Buttons). On xporting the file, I am advised of an error in the action scripts and I can’t get the first Forward button to operate unless I ‘step forward’ in flash player.
The URL for the tutorial is :

The output error message I get is:
Error Scene=Scene 1, layer=buttons, frame=1:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
