MAKING BUTTONS IN FLASH USING ACTIONSCRIPT 2
One of my new goals for the summer is to really dig into Flash. I already started by making the billboard located at http://www.headoverheelsma.com . At first I created this billboard using Actionscript 3 which worked well until I needed to jump back and forth between frames. I found Actionscript 2 to be more useful on creating a "basic" Flash button action.
Once you see the Flash file on http://www.headoverheelsma.com (it is the main billboard on the home page) you will notice that the file has thumbnails which link to larger images and then the back and forth arrows. Actionscript 3 worked with the thumbnails and images but not the back and forth arrows. I am sure there is a basic way to make the file work with Actionscript 3 but I found the solution with Actionscript 2. Once each item on the file was turned into a button I applied the following Actionscript to each button (buttons on the file are the thumbnails and arrows):
on {release} {
gotoAndPlay (frame #);
}
