    copy and paste issue

    I've created a button with a dropdown menu. Now, i also want to finish the rest of the button ie. about me, gallery, contact and blah blah blah. The thing is, when i copy the original (HOME) button that i just made, and paste it, then when i change the text of a newly pasted button, it also changes the original. The question is, is there any other way that i can finish the rest of the buttons without going through the whole process i did with the HOME button? Thanks in advance.

    yes
    go into the home button
    copy the frames
    go back to your main stage
    create a new symbol
    paste the frames
    change the home text
    drag that button ono the stage

    yes everything must be it's own symbol

    When you double click a symbol to edit it... you are editing the symbol that sits in the library, and every insance of that symbol will be affected.
