actionscript3 version of the basic button action. in actionscript3, button actions can no longer be attached to the buttons themselves or called from the main timeline. you need to put an 'addEventListener' in the timeline to 'listen' for interaction with the button and then call an appropriate function to deal with that action. the button needs to have an instance name. in this case it is called 'stupidbutton'

basic actionscript button action that can be attached directly to a button on the stage. this will NOT work in actionscript 3, which does not allow actionscript to be attached directly onto buttons. make sure you're attaching this action to a button and not to a keyframe on the timeline. the actions window should say "actions - button" when you open it. if it says "actions - frame" you're trying to attach this action to the timeline and flash will blow a fuse!
