Trying to add new buttons to 'slider menu tutorial'

I am doing the tutorial listed below..

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...ith_slider.htm

And I am trying to save time by opening the source file and changing it  to support my pictures/etc. instead of starting from scratch.

So my question is: How do I create more than 4 buttons? I have attached a  picture scrn shot if what I see when i press F9// "actions" panel..

I think the problem is when I create a new button, in this case, button  5, it does not carry over to be a subdirectory under the Scene 1 >  Actions things on the bottom left...

I've tried converting a rectangle on the buttons layer to a button  symbol, and adding the appropriate code to it, but to no avail..

When I Ctrl+Enter to preview it, the slider moves 4 spaces but when I  hover over the newly created 5th button the slider just moves back to  button_1



Can anyone help me? it would be greatly appreciated

check out the first graphic below.. notice how it says Line 4 of 4 / Col 1.. for each of the 1-4 buttons, and line 2 of 4 / Col  25  ??

Why is this doing this? I need to find out how to make the slider to go 7 spaces, (3 more than the source files )

Two things to try.  That is an AS2 tutorial, so it is all AS2 desogn/code.  So if you continue to have a problem after following thru with the next suggestion, you should post in the AS1/2 forum.  The next suggestion is to make the best use of your time rather than trying to save it and do the tutorial and learn how the design is done so that you can be in a better position to understand how to adjust the design to accommodate more buttons.
