I, sir, am not a walrus.
This game contains tons of great info. It goes step-by-step and you even put up pictures to show how to do it. Although i stopped using flash a looong time ago, I do think that it will be very useful to most flash users.
Reviews for "The Menu/Button Tutorial"
Not a very usefull tool
This is not very helpful or informative.
Firstly, you should make all the pictures animated, not just still pictures: I can read all this stuff in FAQ's and manuals on internet. Otherwise, why do you need to use Flash for this one, when stuff like this this can be done in MS PowerPoint?
Second of all, have an option to shut off the music. Most people can't concentrate on reading while listening to music. And, reading of all your stuff takes a while, so while anyone is done reading, the music will loop for 2 or 3 times, even 4, so, by that time, anyone will hate it.
Decent could be better though.
~~REVIEW~~
Ok so this had some dark music behind it, not too dark but thats what it sounded like from the menu screen, now here is where i like to take abit of time and comment on your menu effort here you had, now with this one the flash and the menu were pretty much the same with the whole "BLACK" backround, and white text, thats not bad at all, but i wouldnt mind seeing some more "COLOR" something that will really bringout the content and design of it all, and sometimes these types of tutorials tend to be just plain straigh forward, the music helps, but you wanna try and make it differant from the normal tutorial, and color and more of a fresh look, might be that way, as for the tutorial itself its pretty neat and basic, i would think about adding more stuff not just the few ones you had, so, adding a more fresh look with color, and even some more ideas like more game stuff, maybe even add stuff that may not have been used before even if thats a hard one to do, anyways just a few ideas, but for the most part i liked this, especially the music, anyways keep up the good flash making.
~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I mentiond a couple of ideas, as this seemed too dark and needed more color and a more fresh look to it, also more ideas on tutorials would also be key to improving.
~~OVERALL~~
a decent tutorial.

Good Tutorial, Overused Topic.
This tutorial really covers nicely how to do buttons, however IMO there is enough of these tutorial in the portal already, next time, try to choose a topic less covered, like something which animators normally find hard, something like v-cams, or texturing.
Anyone could easily find this same tutorial on the help section of flash, or in a number of other flash portal submission or even in google.
Also, a mute/music selection button would be nice, although I liked the song you've chosen, someone else may not.
tl;dr: Good tutorial, pretty straight forward, the pictures add a nice touch to it too, but next time, please, choose a harder, more interesting topic.
