Flash Button question...

[N43SP33D]

Hello all,
Im making a website, or shall i say converting a website from shockwave (director) into flash, since there is no easy option im doing it the long way, now its a long time since ive used flash and ive not created a navigational site from it...

I'll get to the point, i already have created flash buttons so i am copying them into my main scene, however because the buttons are made up of the same attributes (i created buttons from the same file and just changed the name on them and saved them seperate) when i copy another button in it wants to replace library or keep existing, when pasted, it replaces the button for example..

If i copied about_me button into my scene, and then copy a contact button it asks to replace library or keep exiting, when i paste my about me button, it changes to look exactly like my contact. I understand why it does this, so i tried to create folders within the library for each button and drag the attributes into specific folders but it still comes up with the same message!! what is the best way for me to "import" a .fla / swf file? It is esssentially the same file but the label is diff. btw i have also changed the label names...

thanks

Doesnt make any difference if they are in different folders in the library it will still keep asking if you want to overwrite etc. Could you import one button as a button instance and then copy it in the library renaming it each time?

the import function doesnt actually import as a button, just imports the swf file format and not the fla file...so i had to open the button fla file and copy and paste, ill play about with it tomorrow, surely there is an easy fix for this, i dont wanna have to do the buttons again, took me ages!
