Hello all you flash guru's out there , i have a problem

I have a fla with a menu that a friend of mine gave me so I can use it on my site ( my friend is gone on vacation and i cant get a hold of him , this is why i am posting here , to ask for your help instead ) .

The links on the menu are like this : home , about , pictures , etc.

What i want to do is change the About , pictures ,etc options into something else but i dont know why i cant do that.

Here is what I have done :

I went to Library .. for the About option i see 2 symbols , Symbol10 type button and Symbol11 type movieclip . Now , i right click on Symbol11 (movieclip) and click Edit , I go on the stage and i see the option ABOUT ,, i double click about but i can't edit it , if i double click again , it will only select one letter ( the letter A) ..
the same goes if i choose to edit the Button Symbol ( symbol 10 )

Guys , I need to know what should I do in order to change the text ( option links ) on the menu .. i can't figure it out , please help me !

Thank you.

No the layers aren't locked , i know that much

For the ABOUT option there are 2 objects ( symbols ) one type button and one type movieclip , if i try to edit each one in order to change the ABOUT option into something else i can't do it , if i select all the text ABOUT , it selects leter by leter ..like this A B O U T ..

what should I do ?

That depends on what does he used it for. If he was making undependent letters flying, then you have to check his algorythm and apply with your own letters to it.

I think its flying letters. Am I right?

On the screenshot you're in the button already. So as you're saying I'm looking at 4 different movieclips (H O M E). You can get in to any of movieclips and see the action of the movieclip. So you will understand ho to do that.

If you're totaly messed up, you can PM me. I can fix this fla file for you.
