When I go to publish my movie the following message comes out:

WARNING: Duplicate label, Symbol=buttonact, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=15, Label=1back

What does it mean by duplicate label?

Probebly two of your frames have frame labels which are the same.

Though from the message it could mean that you have two symbols with the same name… but I’ve never seen Flash produce an error message when that happens. More than likely when that happens one of the two movie clips just fails to do what you’re asking it to do with a/s.
