I have just installed my 30-day trial of Flash MX 2004 Professional yesterday and I haven't really done much. I'd like to atleast make a couple of movies before my trial is over. So, this is my question:
I want to make a play button that will start the movie. Can I make my own button or do I have to use the ones already given? If so, how? And one last thing, I tried actionscripts but it always says error.
Whoever reads this I apperciate your time to read this, for I really need help.. Thank you for your time

Hi chibiyoyoshi,
You can make your own buttons if you like. Just draw a button on the stage, select it, then click Insert > Convert to Symbol. Then you can adjust the Up, Over, Down, and Hit states.
To make the button work, first you need to stop your movie on frame 1. Put your button on frame one with a stop action like this:
stop();
Then click your button on the stage and enter this actionscript on the actions panel for the button:
on (release){
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
that tells Flash to move the movie to frame 2 when you release the button. Then put the rest of your movie on frame 2 and beyond and you should be set. Let me know if you need any more help, and thanks!
