You can select Modify-->Scene then you can rename the scene.

I think the best way to do this is putting the button into a movie symbol. 

Then have the button to call any actions from the level0 (main timeline).

Insert the button into movie symbol frame 1 and add the Stop action into 

first frame. Double click the button symbol, and put the action (any 

actions you like)

On the second frame, change the property of the button into graphic -- 

single frame (frame number), and also put the Stop action on the frame 

properties.


This is what you can use at the main timeline's keyframe :



Load movie("./themovie.swf", "1") --> for the movie at the same directory 

as your main movie.

Tell target("/button") --> remember to put the button's instance name, e.g 

: button

         Go to and stop (2)

End tell target


Then the movie will load to the main movie (as level 1) and the button will 

be unclickable.


You can use same method to button's action.


I can't answer another questions because I'm not a pro.. and still got a 

lot to learn. If you want a sample movie for above's question, mail me 

personally and I can send the movie to you.
