The basic problem is you are using bad structure and even a small change

crashes the Flash editor.


What you have done is placed a Movie Clip inside a Button and then you

have button actions inside that Movie Clip.


You can put buttons in Movie Clips or Movie Clips inside Buttons but

nesting a Button inside a MC inside a Button is not a good idea.


In this and most situations it is much better to have a Movie Clip

contain the Graphic (with button actions) rather than vice versa. You

need to add a Tell Target Button action to send the timeline to frame 10

on the main timeline.


Tell Target   Target:/

  Go to and Stop      Frame:10

End tell Target

Lots.
