If anyone is wishing to receive a zipped example...i'll be happy to

contribute identifying and clarifying what the problem is.


To resume :


what works :


1�) attach actions to a button (just the usual way...), call it button-in-MC


2�) encapsulate button-in-MC in a MC  (just the usual way...), call it

MC_with_button


3�) share MC_with_button


4�) import MC_with_button in the target Movie


5�) activate it on the timeline with MovieClip behaviour (just the usual

way...)


6�) have the imported button-in-MC correctly work within MovieClip

MC_with_button in the target Movie.


what doesnt work :


1�) share a *raw* (no action attached) button


2�) import the shared button in the target Movie


3�) activate it on the timeline with button behaviour (just the usual

way...)


4�) attache actions to the imported button (just the usual way...)


5) have the imported button correctly work in the target Movie.


what happens actually is : the button works properly (states are ok) BUT no

action is targeted.


If it makes sense to anyone...
