No.

First make sure you are applying your actions to the button Instance and

not to the button's timeline frame.

Make sure you have given the Instance a Name (Numbers in the example

below).

Note the Library name and the Instance name are not the same.


On (Roll Over)

  Tell Target     Target: /Numbers

     Go to and Stop  Frame: 10

  End Tell Target

End On

On (Roll Out)

  Tell Target     Target: /Numbers

     Play

  End Tell Target

End On
