Hello ;w;
Your tutorial is really easy to follow, thank you. But may I ask a question?
I can't get the on (release) to work... I use flash cs5, could that be the matter? I can't resume to the next page, I have Read button, and when I hover the mouse over it, it lights because that's how I set it up but further, I can't go to next page. I get this error "Mouse events are permitted only for button instances"...
Thank you in advance... : )

Aww...welcome ^^ Did you write it exactly like that: on(release){ (without the spaces)...when you made a button, did you converted it from Image to Button symbol (click on F8 and select Button). Then try to apply that action

This was so helpful!
But how do you make multi choice buttons?
Like, if you had a menu and you can select different buttons to make different things.

This was done with Flash...if CS3 have option ActionScript 2.0 then it might work

This is a great tutorial, but do you know how to make a back button that goes to the frame it was just on?
For example: If I'm in the kitchen and click menu I will be taken to the menu (which is on a frame all by itself). When I am done viewing the menu I will click Leave and be taken back to the kitchen.
My menu is on a frame by itself and is located away from the rest of my frames, so I can't use on(release){
prevFrame();
}

Sorry for so late response, I didn't have installed Flash for a long time, so I couldn't
see the script right
on frame by itself and away from the rest of the tutorial), then I use action (this
action you add on a button):
on(release){
gotoAndPlay (frame number);
}
But you must be sure that you add action on a frame of your menu... stop();
Otherwise it'll play your animation and it won't stop (till the frame where you
added stop action). Then the same you do in the menu if you want to go
to the previous step (you only need to write another frame number in the script).
I hope this helps

Yea, it's really odd 
just "edit text"...and nothing else. Like that .swf file doesn't exist. I can't
remove it or anything. But when you click download on dA it works...
And welcome

Aha... did you converted image (your button) into "button" type.
(click F8 and choose under Type....Button). Then this action
(which you wrote in comment) write on button (not keyframe).
Click on button and click F9 (then write script...).
it'll work now
