Problems attachMovie and onPress function w LSO

Okay,

I've attached a few movieClips, and put in onPress functions for each. The first problem is that none of the clips acts like a button (ie no hand cursor over it). So, obviously no action can take place.

I'm trying to then set a Local Shared Object from each, but that too, is not working....guessing it is simply b/c the actions are not taking hold.

I would copy and paste my script here, but it is so simple that I know there is nothing wrong with it, and suggestions about what may be the cause?

Thanks in advance.

change the behavior of the mc's to "button" in the properties panel

but doesn't mc's take on the behavior of buttons in MX nowadays?

eta: actually, that was a badly phrased question. I meant to say, there's really no need for "buttons" instances anymore since the mc's can do what buttons can and more.

I don't think so, I think you have to specify it like that in the properties panel. I could be wrong though.
