Flash buttons, like any Flash movie, can be previewed in Dreamweaver and resized as
needed.
If your appetite is whetted by Flash buttons, but you??™d like more control??”as well as the possibility
of adding sounds and making your buttons dynamic??”check out the author??™s extension,
FlashBang! You can find information about this extension at www.flashbangmedia.com.
Dreamweaver comes with 44 different Flash Button templates, with additional styles available at the Adobe
Exchange. The buttons are intended to be used primarily as links to other Web pages, although some are
designed as VCR-like player controls. To insert a Flash button, follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the current document has been saved. If you??™re working on a new document,
Dreamweaver requires that you save it before adding a Flash button.
2. Select the Flash Button object from the Media menu on the Insert bar??™s Common category or choose
Insert ??? Media ??? Flash Button. The Insert Flash Button dialog box, shown in Figure 25-10, is
displayed.
3. Select a button type from the Style list. The previews shown in the Sample area are live demonstrations
and play as designed when moused over and/or clicked. There is, however, one exception:
No sound is heard in preview; you have to preview the Flash button in the browser to get
the full effect.
