How to make an animated button

If you aren’t familiar with making buttons, you can take a tutorial here


Begin by drawing out the shape you want to be a button, right click on it and select, ‘convert to symbol’.
Now double click on the button to enter its timeline.
Once in the button’s timeline, select the entire button, and right click on it and then go down to ‘convert to symbol’ again. This time, make sure the ‘movie clip’ radio button is checked, and then click OK.
This not change the whole button in to a movie clip, if you go back to the main timeline, flash will recognise the whole thing, as being a button still.
Now double click on the graphic you just converted in to a movie clip, to enter its timeline.
Here is where you can animate the button, notice how the timeline and frames are normal.
Animate it any way you want.
I made a button that has text on it that says ‘Click’. I inserted a keyframe at frame 10, and changed the text to ‘Here’, and inserted another keyframe at frame 20, so ‘Here’ appears for the same time as ‘Click’.
Now I have a button that say’s click, and shortly after it changes to here. This loops so my button displays it over and over.
Animate it anyway you want, that was just an idea for you, change the picture completely if you want.

How to make glowing text

Glowing text is a great effect, and it can be a great way to catch the users attention, which is why in this example I'll show you how to link the text to a website.
Begin by using the text tool and inserting the text that you want to add a glowing effect to.
I'm using the text 'Learn Flash 8 Pofessional'
Once you have done this, right click on the text, and choose 'convert to symbol'. Check the 'button' radio button, and click on OK.
Right click on this button, and go down to, 'actions'.
Now insert the following code:

on (release) {

getURL(http://www.learnflash8pro.blogspot.com/);
}

Now when the user clicks on the text it will take them to them to my website.
Simply replace the URL in the brackets with the URL you want, include http://www/.

Select the button, and open up it's propert pannel by clicking on the little Up arrow which it in the center of the screen, and at the bottom.
There will be three tabs here,
Properties, Filters and Parameters.
We need to use some Filters, so click on the Filters tab.
There will be a plus symbol, which is used to add filters, click on this and select 'Glow'.
(While you are using the filters, experiment by adding more filter and messing around with the settings,
THAT IS HOW YOU LEARN NEW THINGS, AND BECOME A BETTER USER OF FLASH PROFESSIONAL 8
Once you select glow, you can adjust the settings (to the left) to change the way it looks, larger glow, strength of glow etc.
And that's it, now you can add this to your game or movie, animate the text by making it move around the screen to catch the users attention even more.
