Adding a play button in Flash Pt.2

Ok, everybody, when I was starting out with my masking in Flash Professional 8, I was really wondering how to create a play button, so that it didn’t automatically set by the movie. So this is the answer.

First thing, first we need to create, a play button. So, for that I just going go to draw, take the paint brush, and draw a little crappy circle. I am gonna draw letter ‘PLAY’ in here just to make it look. All right now you copy, you swiped it off and you press F8. To Create; took it in a symbol and name it, and name it something so like, button 1 then press ‘Ok’. Now we have… Now this is so appealing, you open up actions and you need to insert the text, here; paste this text.

Basically, I am gonna put this in the about the movie section, so you can refresh it when you need it.

Now when we done it, click animate screen and then click on your selecting key frame. It should go black, when you select. Now you could open actions, it would be gone. Because what you have done is, you told the button, that one was on off present here.
