**NOTE**
This tutorial will still work for newer versions of Flash, but since it uses ActionScript 2.0 you'll have to select that option when you make a new file.

Yay! I finally finished writing this tutorial after working on it on and off for several months.

This is a tutorial for three kinds of simple buttons on Flash 8 but it's about the same on other versions of Flash.

If you don't want to make your own or if you can't seem to figure it out, you can download the button pack there.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

Thank you so much for this tut! I found a button tutorial before but it didn't tell me how to transfer my button to the actual document! Thanks so much.

I did notice though, I made my button and created a second frame with something on it to be sure it was working right, but when I clicked the button it'd go to the second frame and then skip back to the first. To fix that instead of putting gotoAndPlay I used gotoAndStop, I wonder if that was the correct fix though?
:iconmakiavelli:
Yes and no. It depends.

You could put a stop(); action in the second frame to make the entire file stop. gotoAndStop makes the button go to the frame and stops it. Either one will work though, it just depends on what you're trying to do.

Glad you found the tutorial useful. Thanks for the comment.

I'm doing a digital comic, rather than a solid animation, so I need the button to go to the next frame and stop until you click the 'next' button again. It's working well so far, thanks for all your help :)
:iconmakiavelli:
No problem. gotoAndStop will work in that case then.
:iconnot-a-liz:
Yup, thanks so much :)

What do you mean by repeat itself? Like a replay button?
:iconwovenlife:
when some flashes comes to the last frame, it repeats itslef on its own somehow. i dont know if its photoshop, or flash. im just asking ^^;
