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 2 – At the top of your window click Insert / Interactive Images / Flash Button. The Flash Button dialog box will appear. As you work with your button you will be able to preview it in the window at the top of the dialog box.
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.

Tip: Select the same color background as your webpage that the button will be displayed on.
Step 8 – Click Apply and then OK.
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.
