first in the stage area(the white box in the middle of the screen) draw up ur button. then after that, click on the BLACK arrow in the tool selection center in the left of the screen. then, use the black arrow to hightlight the button by clicking and draging to form a box around ur button. then after that the button should be highlighted with a bunch of dots on it. WITH IT highlighted, press F8 at the top of ur keyboard. a menu should show up. check it for the button symbol and MAKE SURE to name it to stayed organized. then after that, click ok. when u r done with this, click on the button directly left of the macnification setting(middle right)in the screen. the button looks like it has a bunch of toy blocks. when u click on this a menu should appear of the stuff u drew up. click on the name that u named ur button. when u do this a whole diff. section of keyframes and stuff shows up. in the timeline(top screen) you will c: up over down ect. right click on the second keyframe shown and choose convert to keyframe. then, u can draw ur button diff. IF YOU WANT. U DON'T HAVE TO. do the same with the other keyframes. when u r done go to edit(top of screen) then click on edit document from there. it should bring u back to where u first drew up ur button. if not, click on the button next to the magnification settings that likes like one of those movie things. when u r back tot eh stage where u drew ur button in the first place, go to control(top of screen) and then enable all simple buttons. this enables the button to be used when exported. now u need to set the button. right click on ur button and go to action. a menu shows up at the bottom of the screen. double click on the top button which opens up to another set of buttons. then double click on goto. on the right side u will see the menu for setting the button to what frame u want it to go to. set it for the next frame (example button on frame 1 set to got to frame 2.) after that, make sure the button seetings is set to be on goto and play. u can check this setting(above the frame settings). after that click on the actions bar which minimizes that menu. now u can fully c the stage. click on the frame up in the timeline(the frame the button is on) and right click on it. go to actions just like be4. then STOP. don't go to all hat goto button crap. this time double click on the "stop" button. look back up and the frame in the timeline and u should c a little a in the frame. now after that minimize the actions menu like be4. u should c the whole stage again. right click on the white bar behind ur frame and click on convert to keyframe. now there should be two frames in ur timeline. click on the forst frame and then click on the button to test if it went to the next frame. now after that, go to the second frame and right click on the button and click on "cut". now the button is only in the first frame with the button set to go to the next frame. note: the frame set for stopping ONLY works when u go to control test movie or exporting the movie. don't wonder why it plays through the frame when it was set to stop._ well thats about it on how to make a button. if u weren't able to make a button after reading this, well then u got a problem. it should work though. (u can also it F8 and then choose symbol or movieclip but those are COMPLETLY diff.) if u were succesful in making ur button, then reply to this.

Make the frame stop by right-clicking the frame and going to actions, then entering "stop". Then, make a button by going to insert/new symbol or selecting something in the movie that you want to become your button and going to insert/convert to symbol. After that, go to your scene, right-click the button, and go to actions. Set the button's actions to "play", to play and continue on to the next frame, or set it to "gotoandplay", to make it play starting on whatever frame you want. This is very simple actionscript - it should be pretty easy to understand. When I was a flash n00b, I taught myself that. Good luck on your flash.
