Hi all,
This I'm sure is simple but I'm really pulling my hair out trying to work it out.
I'm trying to work my way through the text scrolling tutorial but I have got myself completely stuck with the most basic thing.
I have added the instances of the scroll button (up and down) and my dynamic text box onto the stage. I've converted all this into a symbol 'container MC' and added the appropriate actionscript.
However, this is where the problem begins. I now have to add actionscript to the separate buttons but I can't select the individual buttons because they are now all one symbol 'container MC'. The only way I can do it is to break apart the symbol but then I lose the actionscript that I have originally inserted. Does this make any sense to anybody? Anyway, if anybody can help me with this simple problem please let me know before my head explodes.
Many thanks,
Ian
