  Is anyone familer with this 5 button tutorial?
  How do you actually assign any actions to the individual buttons? As in how do I tell the separate buttons to do different things?

  Here's on way that I can think of off of the top of my head. I'm sure there's a better way but its pretty easy to understand if you aren't that great at AS. Should work fine.

  - Make button movieclips (1st frame a button(up and over states), 2nd frame the 'hit' state)..stop actions in both frames.
  - Give instance names to the MC that holds them.
  - Create a function to reset the previously hit button. Create another function that the button MC will call when pressed.
  - Add Actionscript to a frame after the button MC frame.

  currentBtn = undefined; //-->Variable used to tell what button is currently in it's HIT state.

  // FUNCTION for resetting buttons --->
  function resetBtn () {
  if (currentBtn != undefined) { currentBtn.gotoAndStop(2);curren... = undefined;}

  // FUNCTION for making the button show its HIT state --->
  function hitBtn (btn) {
  resetBtn(); // Reset previous btn if it was in its hit state.
  btn.gotoAndStop(2);
  // add other code here.
  currentBtn = btn;
  }

  // CODE for buttons. (make sure the button MC's are available on whatever frame this code is on.
  btn1_mc.onPress = function(){hitBtn(btn1_mc);}

  btn2_mc.onPress = function(){hitBtn(btn2_mc);}

  btn3_mc.onPress = function(){hitBtn(btn3_mc);}

  btn4_mc.onPress = function(){hitBtn(btn4_mc);}

  btn5_mc.onPress = function(){hitBtn(btn5_mc);}

  and so on and so on for more buttons...

  Hope that helps.
