How do u make buttons on flash mx? i have been ripping my head on and off trying to do so i read the lesson did the tutorial and still cant make a button
Making a button shouldn’t be that hard, just create the shape of your button then go to insert > convert to symbol and select button or you can simply press F8 and it will bring up the same menu.
Make a circle or something! Just draw something what you want the button to look like!
Select it and go to Insert->Convert to symbol, assign a name for it and select “button”, press OK!
now double-click the button to go inside it!
Make a new keyframem in “over” frame (right-click on frame and choose add keyframe)
now draw something that you want the button to look like when the mouse moves over it!
Make a keyframe in “down” frame, now draw something that you want the button to look like when the button is pressed down!
And make a keyframe in “hit” frame! In most cases you would want to leave the hit frame as it is!
If the mouse is not on the button then the button looks like the thing in the “UP” frame!
If the mouse is over the “HIT” area the the button looks like the thing in the “OVER” frame. [For example if there was a box in the “HIT” frame then the mouse has to be inside the box for it to go to frame 2!(The box is invisible of course)]
If the user presses the mouse button down on the button the the button looks like the thing in the “DOWN” frame.
If the button is just text the you would want to draw a box around the text in the hit frame because ifyou don’t you’d encounter some unconvenient problems!
Experiment!
