Hi,
I'm super new at flash mx, and I know that the normal mode is gone from the
actions panel, but I was wondering how, for instance, when making an on/off
button for music in a movie clip, how you specify the "type" field in the
scripting.

I am needing ot specify my button action to go to a Frame Label, but I don't
know how to script that.

I hope I'm not being too vague, thanks for any help you guys can give me. :)

You might look at the "Behaviors" panel.

You definitely SHOULD do the tutorials
that come with Flash. When you finish

Thanks Carl! I'll take a look there.

I am taking the tutorials at lynda.com right now, but I will look at the ones that ship with Flash.
