Very hard to know without more information. Maybe you can post the zipped 

.fla on an ftp server and send the URL to the group?


Some hunches:  do you have buttons inside the buttons? That's a no-no. Do 

you have keyframes in the timeline layers where the buttons appear? Maybe 

the buttons in the later keyframes have their behavior set to something 

other than button (graphic or movie clip). Are the rollover effects built 

into the buttons, or are they movie clips that are outside the button? If 

they are movie clips outside the button, make sure they have their own 

timelines and that you haven't inserted extra keyframes, which makes them 

lose their instance names. Without instance names they cannot be 

TellTargeted by the button.
