So instead of “flash.display.MovieClip”, address “flash.display.Sprite” in the Base Chic field. Now every affair should be fine, bang “ok”.

Now we are central our simpleButton. We appetite to accomplish 4 layers for this button, so on the timeline actualize 4 layers and rename them like this starting from the lower one: “back”, “Over”, “Label”, “LabelOver”.

Accord it an instance name “myLabel”. Accept the chantry you want, accord it a atramentous color, accomplish it not selectable and bury the characters you appetite for that font. Now archetype that textfield at the aforementioned abode but on the band called “LabelOver”, change its instance name to”myLabelOver” and additionally change its blush so that we may see a change aback we cycle over the button. We are now done with what we accept to do application Flash CS3. Basically, we accept a fresh attribute with for layers in it; 2 rectangles and 2 textfields. Now lets do some ActionScript.
