Current Selection cannot have actions applied to it

Question

I have instances of a button and I cant seem to add any
actions to them! I just get the message in the topic title. I have
another flash file that has buttons with actions applied to them,
but this one wont let me!

Any help would be great,
thanks.

In Flash CS3 using AS3, yes, you cannot apply actionscript directly to any instance. You will need to name the instance and then write your actionscript in a frame actions space.

Alternately, you can open the Publish Settings window and set your movie to use AS2. Then you can continue to use actionscript as you like.
