YOu can't control button frames , in any version of flash.
Buttons are not like movie clips , different type of timeline.
YOu need to make two movie clips and simulate buttons.
You can still assign button event to movie clip and make it act just
like button.
There is one thing I don't really get. If the button A is not visible , how you find it
to select it to show the B button ?
Sorry, bit confused :)
