Re: FLASH: sound in symbols/movie

[Marc Hoffman]

Not sure what you mean by "use the movie clip at some button symbol."

however, it's best to put the clip outside the button.  Don't embed the

telltarget in the button using the symbol edit stage.  Instead, attach the

action to the button instance on the stage by double-clicking the button

and selecting the actions tab.
