Step 1 – Place your cursor on the page where you want to insert your flash button. Make sure your document is saved before you start working with your new button.

Step 3 – Click through the buttons to find the style that you want to use. Once you have made your choice, move on to Step 4.

Step 4 – Type the name that you want displayed on the button in the button text field.
Ex. If that is the Home button, type Home.

Step 5 – Choose the font and size of the text that will be displayed on your button.

Step 6 – In the link field, type in the url that will be assigned to that button.

Step 7 – Choose the background color of your button.

Step 9 – Click File / Save.

To make a menu of buttons, follow the steps above and change the text and link fields. When you return to your page you will notice a flash element inserted into your page. This is your button. You can preview your button by pressing F12. That will open your page in your default
browser.
