Buttons work like a movie in flash.
They need action script, which we will dabble in.
DO. Make a button with all four stages.
Go to insert and create a new button. Name the button.
You will have 4 requirements: Up, over, down and hit.
Up is the normal stage of the button, over is what the button looks like when you go over it, down is what the button looks like when you click it, and the hit area is where the button is "live"
Put keyframes in each of these stages and change the button.
Press F9 to open the action script. Copy and past this action script:
var numPressed:Number = 0;
btnCount.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, countUp);
function countUp(evt:MouseEvent):void { numPressed++; trace("Button was pressed " + String(numPressed) + " times.");}
Show the teacher what you have done for credit. Put on your blog "Success!!" when complete.
