Being a great one for learning things from the middle on out, I would like to
make a button in Flash MX for my plain-HTML website. I'm familiar with
some graphics programs like 3DSMax and Photoshop, but have spent
very little time with Flash. What I'm looking for is a tutorial on this
particular
topic, or guidance about which particular areas of the program I need to learn
to do this specific thing, if it's possible without needing a complete
overview.
Then, after making lots of money using the web site, I'll come back to the
program in all my lesiure time to learn the rest of it properly, ha ha.

Duh... Funny.

Flash comes with lots of ready made buttons. There in a odd place in
Flash MX 2004 (I think so anyway)

Try Window/other panels/common libaries/ buttons. Make a new layer,
set a keyframe, drag and drop on stage resize, recolor if you want.

To active the button do scripting. Clicking on the button should open
the Action script window. For example typing:

on (release){
window_txt.scroll = 1;
}

Would cause the text in a text field called window_txt to scroll up
one line. There's tons of tutorials on Flash on the web. Yes Flash
+tutorial in any Search engine should produce lots of hits.

Thanks for the good place to start. My
goal is to make a small "saw" button
for my remodeling web site that flexes
on the down, with maybe even a sound.
