This is just a quick introduction to making buttons in flash. It is very easy, for beginners.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Macromedia Flash Professional 5 or up is best
  • A computer
  1. Step 1

    Ok, first you go to your flash shortcut on the desktop. If it's not there, go to Start at the toolbar, click all programs, and find it in the list. Then, open it, click "flash document" and you have a new document.

  2. Step 2

    Draw what you want to be a button. It can be anything at all. Circle, square, text etc. Then, click the little black cursor at the top of the screen, and select what you drew to be the button. Press F8 to make it a symbol. Click button, and then click ok.

  3. Step 3

    Double click your button, and then there should be 4 spots that say "up" "over" "down" and "hit". press F6 3 times to add key frames to each frame. The up frame is what the button when look like when your mouse isn't touching it. The over frame is when your mouse is over the button, so you can click the shape and change the color or whatever you want. The down frame is what the button will look like when it is clicked. Usually people make it go down a little bit. Finally, hit is what the button will look like when you release the mouse button after clicking it.

Tips & Warnings
  • It would be best to change the frames, because it would look cooler and attract more people.
