the only reason you would not be able to apply actionscript to a button is if you are using actionscript 3.

with actionscript 3 you can only put script on the timeline (and movieclips? can't remember).

give your button an instance name and then try something like this:

myButtonInstanceNameGoesHere.onRelease = function() {
//do stuff
};
