flash actionscript: Greetings guys (and perhaps girls),

Boy... This one has me totally stumped??

I'm working on a webiste, and for time reasons, I need to get something
up and running really fast.. So, I purchased one of those Templates from
tempalatemonster.com.

Anyway.. I have the complete flash fla, and swf, and I'm looking it
over. It has lots of MC, and buttons all over the place. It just has no
links, and phoney text, ect.. So, I start to make some of the buttons
active, by adding in some code.

Trouble is.. I can't get any code to work?? Seams like everything I do,
wont make a button active, or work?? odd. I tried writing the AS right
on the button, removing the button and using a MC with onRelease =
function(). No go.. nothing??

So, thinking this was odd, I went to go look at the code they used for
the 5 menu buttons right on the top. Just to see how they did it.. It's
the only buttons that work when they give you the flash.

There's NO actionscript??? Or at least for any of the menu buttons.
There are stop(); codes all over the place. I even viewed every single
frame looking though the symbol definitions on the actions panel.. No CODE??

Neat trick? How do you make buttons function when there's no
actionscript code??

The template is #7597

You just need to use your Movie Explorer to find it. In Movie
Explorer, turn on just the icon for "Show Action Scripts"
Then in the search box put "release" or "rollover". Then you will see
a list of all the movieclips that contain those codes. Expand the
links to find the code you want to edit. Double click on the
movieclip that holds the button, then click once on the button to see
the code. When you need to find stuff in a Flash project, always use
the Movie Explorer.
good luck,
