Introduction to Flash MX Tutorial > Add animation and navigation to buttons

 

Add animation and navigation to buttons

When you specify that a new symbol is a button, Flash creates the Timeline for the button states. In the Creating Buttons lesson, you learned how to change the fill color of a shape within a button state. In this section, you'll learn more about modifying buttons, including adding animation to a button.

Specifically, in this section you'll learn how to complete the following tasks:

Import a library from another FLA file

Align buttons

Add animation to a button state

Add navigation to a button to link to a Web site

Use the Enable Simple Buttons feature

Add button navigation

To complete this section, you can either continue to work on your mystiletto.fla file, or you can browse to your Flash MX application folder and open Tutorials/FlashIntro/stiletto5.fla. If you do use the stiletto5.fla file, save the file with a new name in your My_Stiletto folder to maintain an unadulterated version of the original file.
