Add buttons to the Stage
In addition to the title text, the first scene of your movie will contain two buttons. You'll add the
first button to the Stage, then you'll create a new button on the Stage to complete the scene.
You begin by giving the button cast member in the second slot of the Cast window a name.
Earlier, you named the TitleText cast member by entering a name in the Text window. You can
also give cast members names directly in the Cast window.
Click the button cast member in cast slot two.
1
Click the Cast Member Name text box at the top of the Cast window, and type Animation.
2
Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).
Drag the Animation button cast member from the Cast window to the Stage. Place it on the
3
left side of the Stage, below the title text.
Select the button sprite on the Stage. In the Property inspector, type 110 in the X text box
4
and 161 in the Y text box to position the button, and then press Enter (Windows) or
Return (Macintosh).
Note: As you complete the tutorial, remember to save your work frequently.
Create a new button cast member
