Buttons

In adobe animate there is the option to create a button if the type of animation you chose was Action Script 3.0. Here I will quickly explain how you can make a button that takes you to a second screen. I have not explained screens yet, they are like two different stages for actors, you can switch between them either by playing through one scene and then the next one coming on or by using buttons.

How to make a button

1. Open a new animation in Action Script 3.0
2. Create a drawing of some sort that you want to make into a button
3. Select what is meant to be the button
4. Click Modify
5. Convert to Symbol
6. Choose Button under Type
7. Exit screen and click Insert
8. Click on Screen
9. Draw or write something onto the screen
10. Go back to Scene 1
11. Create a new Keyframe at about the 20th slot
12. Right click on the Keyframe and select Action
13. Write stop() into the screen that pops up
14. Exit the screen
15. Go back to Screen 2
16. Create a Keyframe again about 20 slots in
17. Right click on new Keyframe and click Action
18. Write stop() into the pop up screen
19. Exit the screen
20. Go back to Screen 1
21. Right click on the Keyframe furthest back
22. Click Action again
23. Click <> on the top right of the pop up screen
24. In the new screen that pops up click Action Script
25. Then click Timeline Navigation
26. Select “Click to go to next Scene and Play”
27. Exit all the screens
28. Preview in Browser by clicking Control, Test Movie, In Browser

To make this easier I made a screen recording while doing this.
