Editing Buttons and Button States

    example, clicking a link on a Web page or a
    Submit button on a form triggers an event.

Whenever you define a symbol as a button, Flash
creates a special kind of timeline for it. This
enables you to incorporate the four states into a
button symbol.

    look identical but say different things.
