I’ve created the above but as this is my first time doing flash, I was sure there was a much easier method in creating a fade in fade out menu.

I created buttons individually and did not use from one button, is it possible to do it like Fireworks MX 2004? Where I can create one button (F8 to symbol) and edit to create other buttons? Because when I tried to do that, the text and states of the buttons changed together when I edited any one of the buttons(all used the same symbol button).

I’ve attached my .fla file, pls feel free to critique strictly. I’m very willing to learn.
