I’m new to CS4 and possess zero coding skills. I’m capable of wrangling Flash 8, but CS4 has changed radically concerning the actions pallete, and I can’t do the most basic of things.

I need to simply add an email link to a button. Can anyone help out?

The latest script assist is useless for my needs. I understand you cannot assign actions to objects any longer, which seems ridiculous. And I’m at a loss as to how to pretty much do anything not related to animation.

Thanks
