QUESTION:I need to have several buttons for navgational reasons. We do some seminar
training relating to the steam industry. For the sake of this discussion
lets say I only need two buttons. One would say "Steam Training" the other
would say "Boiler Training". What I want the user to do is mouse over the
"Steam Training" button and a paragraph of text would display describing the
"Steam Training". If the user moused over the "Boiler Training" button, it
would display a different text paragraph breifly describing "Boiler
Training". If the user actually 'pressed' the button it would take them to
a web page concerning that particular seminar.
How do I do this. I have Flash 5 BTW.
ANSWER: Insert > New Symbol. Choose "Button" In frame 1, put the shape of the button
(draw, or import a bitmap) Insert > Keyframe. this will copy contents of
frame 1 to frame 2. put your text where you want it to appear relative to
the button. Do insert keyframe 2 more times. then delete the text from frame
3 and 4, you don't need it there. Adjust your button shapes in frame 2 and 3
to make those cool rollover effects.
Click Scene1, (top left) to go back to main timeline. Open Library (Window >
Library). Drag the button from library on stage. Right-click on button and
choose Actions from menu. Click on Basic actions. Scroll down and
double-click on GetUrl. Fill in the address behind URL. Fill in the name of
a frame, if needed to open it in other html-frame. Hit F12 to preview.
