Thank's a lot for your very quick answer and a sugested solution of my problem.
I'll try it out write now.
But first a few words/questions to your write.
I see, that using flash buttons in dreamweaver isn't a good idea. Can you tell
me, if the buttons on the top of Macromedia webpage are made without Flash? If
not, why should I not use such buttons? Why does Flash gives you the abillity
to make abnormal esthetic buttons etc. and is sold together in a pack with
Dreamweaver as the ultimate web design and developing software, if ther's
"allround limitation" of using it?

Well, for all those, who have/had the same problem like me and the suggestions
they have got in this forum didn't help or they didn' understand it. I finaly
figured out (with a help of NEWSGROUP USER (_seb_), how to get actions on flash
made buttons and other elements work in dreamweaver.

You have to write the function instead in dreamweaver directly in flash. For
example, if you want to show/hide layers in dreamweaver when a flash made
button is clicked write the folowing in the actionscript of this button in
flash:

on (release){
getURL("javascript:MM_showHideLayers('Layer1','','hide','Layer2','','show')");
}

After it, generate the SWF file and import it into dreamweaver.

On correct use of function MM_showHideLayers... inform yourself in dreamweaver.

Have a nice day, Darko from Slovenia:)
