Button in CS3?

[Jigganis]

Am lost. Can help?

Are you trying to make a button to do something or are you confused about how the button option in convert to symbol differs from movieclips?

Your using CS3? Then tell me, what actionscript are you using? If your using actionscript 3, then thats why, AC3 is really complex. And is used for other shizzle, the NG Audio Player is AC3, but to make games and shit, do AC2, otherwise it'll just say you cant apply actions, so if your using AC3, there you go.

(The preceeding comment was written assuming that you've made a button before on other flash versions, and that you have no problem with writing the scripture down)

well there's as2 witch is pretty easy:

1. draw out your button
2. right click on it and press convert to symbol(F8) make it either a movieclip or a button
3. right click it and press action(F9)
4. put the following on it

// the following means 'when the player clicks on the button and releases his/her mouse from it'
on(Release){
//put what you want to do when you click the button here
}

then there as3

1. draw out your button
2. right click on it and press convert to symbol(F8) make it either a movieclip or a button
3. find you 'properties' menu, it's most likely at the bottom of your screen
4. click you button and look on the properties menu to find the 'incentive name' change it to whatever you wish
5. click on the FRAME and right click>action(f9) WITH THE FRAME HIGHLIGHTED
6. put the following code on the frame

// makes it so when you click the button it runs the function 'myFunction'
// change myButton to the name you gave your button
// change myFunction to then name you will give your function later
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,myFunction)

//make the function called 'myFunction' (feel free to change)
// makes it a 'MouseEvent' type function
function myFunction (type:MouseEvent){
//what you want the button to do here
}

now excuse me while i go soak my fingers in ice water
