Nigel's advice is right-on.  the main distinction you need to make,

however, is you should be asssigning actions to the button's instance on

stage, rather than in the button edit mode.  Instance actions include a

greater range of mouse event options (rollover, rollout, press, release,

drag over, drag out). Then make the animation a MC that's external to the

button and use TellTarget as Nigel suggests.
