Reviews for =Simple Button Tutorial=

[Coop]

Draw us a map.

You've explained about buttons, why we need them and how to make them very well within your flash, but I feel that this really needs some animating expertise, so that you can show the budding flash artist what they need to see, for these things.

I quite enjoy reading, but if I want to read about how to do stuff like that, I'm sure I can find it in the Help application somewhere.

If this was showing the full spectrum of the program, you would be able to show people where the buttons are and keep their attention. I like reading, but I have to say that i skipped past this flashes points, because i couldn't be arsed to read them.

I didn't understand your review much except for the the Help thing. Yes you could probably find it in the help place but those are quite boring to read and are quite hard to understand if you're a beginner.

Very Basic

A button is something that is quite simple to make, I realise this is for beginners but the first thing that hits me is the navigation and layout of this, to be honest I think it is quite poor and if not a little intimidating to someone who would be new. I would suggest keeping it simple and having one fram for each part, includ a screenshot on that frame as oppose to having to click a button to see it.

You wrote something about buttons, nice but maybe a little pointless, that could have been mentioned on the menu. Also the actionscript can be done diffrently, it might be worth mentioning Frame Lables with the gotoAndPlay script.

The blocks of text aren't broken down to well or in a very easy to read layout, they could be presented better in my opinion, the whole presentation could be improved with some nice looking buttons, a nice background, just something more plesent to look at really and some work on working and details would be nice. Good luck writting future tutorials.

Well I made the screen shots on different frames because if I made them all in 1 frame it could be hard for the reader to understand what they have to do. I thought it would be easier for the user to click on a button when they didn't understand on what to do.

Anyways, thanks for the review.

hey it doesn`t work....

sorry man.... i tried all the scripts and they don`t work in my program.... i use flash 8...

Phantox responds:

What's the problem? Does it give error each time you test it? If it does, try to type the AS out instead of copy+paste. Try with this.

on (release) {
nextFrame();
}

Don't copy+paste it, type it out. When you press enter after the "{" the "nextFrame();" should appear spaced out a bit. after the "();" hit enter again and type }. It should move to the left. Try it out. If it doesn't work, send me a pm explaining the problem.
