Problem with sound on a button in Flash 8

[Deb]

I am using Flash 8 Pro and trying to play an mp3 on hit in a button. Everything worked perfectly in Flash MX but in 8 the action script is not working.

Original script is

on (press) {
stopAllSounds();
}
on (release) {
play();
}


now I get a message

are permitted only for button instances
on (release) {


I even named the button instance and still doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

Flash 8 still allows the same button handlers and that one is no exception. The only question left is the obvious one: are you sure you put the Actionscript on the button? maybe not that particular button but you're sure that all on(Release) handlers are on the buttons and none on a movieclip or timeline?

I was able to find my mistake and everything worked perfectly. Thanks again. Deb
