Today we will begin creating buttons using Adobe Flash. Buttons are created much like graphic symbols -- you draw your button shape, select it, then go to MODIFY > CONVERT TO SYMBOL > BUTTON. Once your basic button is created, you simply double-click the new symbol which will allow you to edit your button.
Buttons have 4 "states" -- UP, OVER, DOWN, and HIT. UP is the state where nothing is happening [if you look at a button on a machine it's in the UP state]. OVER is the state where you are moving your mouse pointer over the button [sometimes people will have a button highlighted when someone is over it]. DOWN is the state where the button is being pressed/clicked. The HIT state is simply the area that you are able to click on [Generally it's the exact same size as the visible button].
I am attaching a YouTube tutorial video below if you need some extra help.
