Are you in a hurry? If you have downloaded the project and do not want to draw the button yourself, select File > Open as Library from the
menu bar, and select the file fl_menu.fla. The button will then be ready for use.

Creating the Button Symbol
Let's start by creating the Button Symbol:
- Select Insert > New Symbol.
- Name the symbol "Button" and assign to it the Button behaviour.
Click 'OK' to enter the symbol editing mode.
- Use any tool you wish to draw the button (in our example, we used the Rectangle tool).
- In the timeline, right-click (on a Mac, Ctrl+click) under the Over option and select Insert Keyframe.
- Fill in the button with a different colour, using the Paint Bucket tool.
This version of the button will be displayed when the mouse moves over it, in order to highlight the selected item.
