I am a complete newbie to actionscript and flash. I am using Flash CS3 with Mac OSX.
I need to know how to add actionscript to a movie symbol?
I made a circle and coverted it into movie symbol. After selecting it and opening Windows > Actions, it says that the currect selection can not have actions applied to it.
I have also tried ticking the Export for actionscript option and leaving the default options on, but still no use.

can someone please help me?

Suppose there is a Button on Stage having instance name
_btn

Put the below code on frame

function aa(evt:Event) {
trace("Double Clicked")
}
_btn.doubleClickEnabled = true;
addEventListener('doubleClick', aa);


See help for different type of events

ticking Export for actionscript isnt doing anything for you, thats to attach a movie from the library... click your movie clip symbol, in the properties panel, click where it says 'Instance Name', and give it a unique name, lets say, my_mc. then in an actions layer, ON A KEYFRAME, add this

my_mc.onRelease
or
my_mc.onRollOver
or
my_mc.onRollOut
and so on, but that's how you reference the movie clip... by its instance name
