Control MovieClips and Use Filters

Create A Button

Add a simple button on the stage so we can get things moving. You can always customize the button later:

  1. First Insert Layer and name it buttons
  2. Use the Text Tool to type NOSE

Right-Click on the text and choose Convert to Symbol:

  1. Name the symbol bNose
  2. Choose the Button type
  3. Click OK

Now assign an instance name to the bNose button so we can target it with ActionScript. I'm going to assign the name bNose (which happens to be the same name as the Symbol):

Notice that I'm using a consistent naming convention for all my instance names: mNose for the nose MovieClip and bNose for the nose Button.
