By George, I think I've got it! Thanks to TulsaJeff and PetitPal for great help. I've been able to put an animated movie clip in a button. I still am perturbed by the problem of not being able to put keyframes into some layers and not into others. Oh, well, maybe the solution will smite me some...

What you're saying makes sense. However, I've looked in the book and in the help files, and I can't figure out where and how you create this animation that you later place in the "over" state. I plan to use some of the elements of the button that are already created in the animation...

No, it's really strange. I used two layers to create the button - one for the text and one for the background box. I converted the text and the box to symbols. Then I added a keyframe in the "over" frame for each layer. Then I created a new layer for the animation, which I intended to...

Thanks, TulsaJeff, but that didn't seem to do the trick. I did the "remove frames" thing in this layer and tried to insert a keyframe, but I could insert one in any of the frames of this layer. When I try to insert a keyframe, the frame to the right of the intended frame becomes...

I'm creating an animated button. I've created layers for the button itself and added a layer for the animation. For some reason, Flash will not let me insert any keyframes in the animation layer. What am I doing wrong? (The layer is not locked)

I finally discovered what I was doing wrong. I thought I had the object selected, but I didn't. When I selected the object I wanted to apply an action to, then everything worked as expected. Thanks for the help.

What you say is true. But that's not what I'm doing. I'm in "Object Actions." I'm trying to apply an action to a button. What am I doing wrong? The instructions say to double-click the action that I want to apply. That's what I'm doing - with no results.

Yes, I'm in "Nornal Mode." But when I double-click an action item, nothing appears in the right pane - or anywhere else. The instructions say that a popup menu is supposed to display where I can enter the parameters or other instructions for the action. But nothing at all happens when...

When I double-click an action in the Actions pane, nothing happens. I understand some other menus are supposed to pop up where I can specify the parameters of the action I've specified.
