Create a button from grouped
objects
You can create buttons from text and graphics, including bitmap images
and grouped objects. In this lesson, you’ll turn a logo and some text into
one large button.
1. In the Tools panel, click the Selection tool. On the Stage, select the
grouped text and logo, and then select Modify > Convert to Symbol.
2. In the Convert to Symbol dialog box, name the symbol BTNLogo, and
select Button as the behavior.
3. In the Registration grid, verify that the square in the upper-left corner is
selected as the registration point, and click OK.
The registration point is the point from which the symbol aligns
and rotates.
Name a button instance
As a best practice, you should name instances of symbols on the Stage.
ActionScript relies on the instance name to identify the object.
■ With the button that you created still selected, open the Property
inspector (Window > Properties). In the Instance Name text box, type
logo_btn.
