Note: Converting an existing button symbol to a movie clip symbol requires that ActionScript statements be added to the move clip symbol.

The solution is to "Use a Movie Clip instead in order to apply these behaviors." (For details see the "Flash TechNote" entitled " Macromedia Flash MX 2004 emerging issues" under the heading "Fast Forward and Rewind Behaviors missing in 7.0.1".)
