It will be a movieclip where frame 1 is up, 2 is over, 3 is down and 4 is your hit. I last did this today. Or,

I added some space to the frames, locked the actions & labels layers, and set button mode to TRUE to trigger the button behaviors. <code> if (fl.getDocumentDOM().selection.length > 0) { var mcName = prompt("BUTTON Name", ""); if (mcName != null) { var newMc = fl.getDocumentDOM().convertToSymbol("movie clip", mcName, "top left"); fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].name = mcName; fl.getDocumentDOM().enterEditMode("inPlace"); var tl = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline(); tl.insertFrames(29); tl.addNewLayer("labels"); tl.layers[tl.currentLayer].frames[0].name = "_up"; tl.insertKeyframe(9); tl.layers[tl.currentLayer].frames[9].name = "_over"; tl.insertKeyframe(19); tl.layers[tl.currentLayer].frames[19].name = "_down"; tl.layers[tl.currentLayer].locked = true; tl.addNewLayer("actions"); tl.layers[tl.currentLayer].frames[0].actionScript = "stop(); \r this.buttonMode = true;"; tl.layers[tl.currentLayer].locked = true; fl.getDocumentDOM().exitEditMode(); } } </code> Nice work, Steven!

I am trying your code but I guess I have to do some additional things to make it work. but what? Or can you give me an direction where I can find some basics about using JSFL? Thanks! Cor Hi Steven,

I'm a flash newbie, but im getting to enjoy it, A LOT... and these .jsfl stuff really rocks. In your code above i switched the line tl.convertToKeyframes(0, 2); to tl.convertToKeyframes(0, 3); because it wasn't creating the "_over" keyframe. By now i know that we can access and edit the timeline, the frames, keyframes, etc... do you think it's possible to create one command that "converts" a previously 12 fps animation movie, to 24 fps?
