this seems very very simple as it is used everywhere, but damn if i can get it to work! i have a button on the stage that on 'over' shows a drop down list. when you roll down the list, the 'trial' new button i am using just flashes over and over like it is looping the first frame. no action...like the 2nd button never moves to 'over' etc. i remember in 5 that you couldn't put buttons in buttons...was hoping my MX would help me out with that. i'm soooo stuck and frustrated! does it need to be a movie clip with the button in the clip? i looked at some action scripts, but when i hit the 1st button, it says "Current Selection can not have actions applied to it."
Any help would be greatly appreciated...i'm up all night to try to make my 'impressive' presentation tomorrow. arrrrgh!

Thanx!
