I'm working with Flash CS3.
I converted something into a button, but it will not let me put any actionscript into it.

I have everything simple. I'm going to use

_root.gotoAndPlay (2);

for what I need to do, the only problem is when I press F9 and open the Actions panel, it says script cannot be placed inside of this object.

I doubt it could be that there are multiple movie clips to the symbol.
Any help/suggestions?
thanks.

Edit: I've tried making a new file, making some random thing and converting it into a button. It still does not work. Yet I can add actionscript to the frames of the main timeline.

You need to create a Flash file using AS2.

I think you can change your current settings under the Publish dialog.
