Example 1 - Multiple Button Instances

Intro : Example 1 : Example 2 : Example 3 : Example 4

Library

• button - Button

Construction

• Create 1 button, reuse
• Layer text over buttons
• Create content on keyframes in main timeline
• Attach actionscript to individual button instances

Actionscript

on (release) {
  gotoAndPlay("framelabel");
}

Attached to each button instance. Causes playhead to jump to the correct frame label.

Advantages

• Straightforward - what you see is what you get
• Smallest file size (for something this simple)
• Frame labels allow for arbitrary lengthening of timeline without messing up gotoAndPlay actions

Disadvantages

• Hard to modify
