Quiz Answers
A1:
C. Remember you don't put actions inside master button symbols! Of course, within master movie clips you can have actions in keyframes and buttons, but Answer C covers those places.
A2:
B. Action is a pretty generic term, so Answer B is the best of these definitions. (In fact it's so general that I cringe every time I say action but it sure is easier than defining dozens of other terms.)
A3:
C. There's really no limit to how many actions you can place in one button, although there are some restrictions against illogical sequences (for example, you can't have two gotoAndPlay actions in a row). One event could result in many actions being executed, and you can have several events within one button.
