I am trying to add buttons over a base template I created. I would like the buttons to get bigger, change colors or make a sound when they are hovered over. This is will be in the main panel and the buttons are linked to the other pages of the site. I can make the buttons in flash. Is there a section in the manual I can't find about adding them or does anyone have any suggestions/solutions? Thanks!

Just add the Flash code (<object> tag) in the Source tab for the page you want it to show up on. Or you can add it to a global panel like the Header Panel, Right/Left Panels, etc.

The only object type in Flash, that can detect mouse events is the Button object. This means that there is only one way to make buttons with Flash: Creating a button object. 8)

You don't need Flash to change button size and color or make a sound on hover. Some CSS and a bit of JavaScript can do it.

You'll need 2 images, hover and non-hover plus a mp3 or wav soundtrack for your hover sound.

A plus is that, the buttons will also be visible on mobile devices.
