is there any way to make the buttons into movie clips in this tutorial? i much prefer those over buttons. too much mess otherwise.
Here is what I did, though I’m not saying it is the right way to do it but it did work for me:
- create your movie clips that are used as buttons and get them to perform the way you want to.
- then create an invisible (dummy) button over the top of them that has the code for the slider on them.
Look at the Photos section of my site and you’ll see in the left column 5 buttons that I did this way (movie clips + invisible button) that seems to work as desired.
Don’t laugh too much at my site because it still is a work in progress.
You can put movieclip instances in any button state…
Draw a square, convert it into a button, then double click the newly created button. In the button states, say you want a movie to play when you mouse over…click the over state, insert a keyframe and press “F8” to create a new movie clip, or copy your buttons original appearance to the “over” state then convert the image to a movie by selecting it on the over state and pressing
"f8" wile its selected…hope that helps…
