Step Seven: Placing a Button on Stage

The last thing is to place a button on Stage and set the ActionScript so that the Movie Clip moves when you roll over or click the button.  You will either need to either create a new button and place it on Stage or drag a button out of the common button library.  Either:

1. Create your own Button and place it on Stage
   
   Or: go to Window > Other Panels > Common Libraries > Buttons and drag a button onto the Main Stage.

My Button:




2. Select the new: Button
3. If the Actions Panel is closed, open it: Window > Actions (F9)
4. Type (or copy & paste) the following actions:

   on (rollOver) {
      yTargetMC = 200;
   }

   Note: The target number must be different to the number in frame 1 otherwise the Movie Clip will not move. Change the target number to a number that suits the position that you want the Movie Clip to stop at.

    

   As an alternative make the Movie Clip move on (release) like this:

   on (release) {
      yTargetMC = 200;
   }

5. Create as many other buttons as you want stop positions: Create more Buttons

I created one more button:



6. Add the above code to you new buttons but change the target position. Like this:

   on (release) {
      yTargetMC = -600;
   }
