you want to use buttons that are not part of flash? if so, you can code the buttons to call a javascript function and use the externalinterface class to have the js function call a flash function.

Could it be as simple as naming the external button the same as the potential flash button, or does the flash movie only recognize button presses within the flash movie. I suspect this is true.

Is there any example code that would enable this ?
