Flash Fundamentals: Buttons
Buttons enable users to interact with your Flash movie.  With buttons, you give users a choice.  Users can navigate to different parts of your Flash movie, to different HTML files, and even control animations within Flash.  Before you can add interactivity however, you have to build your buttons.  Buttons are a unique type of Symbol.  Like Graphic and Movie Clip Symbols, Button Symbols have their own Timeline and Stage, but the Button Timeline is unique.  In this chapter, we’ll examine the process of creating buttons.
