You know those boards that they use when shooting movies - the ones that has a kinda cutting edge that flips down when the scene is supposed to start, and the director (or whoever) says “Action!”? What are those called?

Im trying to find a good picture/image of one so I can redraw it in flash and use it as an image for a big button that launches movies.
