How to Create Event Handlers and Advanced Buttons in Flash CS3?
A flash website’s development not only focuses on vector graphics and animation, but also places much importance on interactivity. In fact, the core feature of any professional flash web design is interactivity, where users are given freedom to control animation and graphics by using mouse, keyboard or embedded buttons. This is very important, especially if the flash web site has some interactive content such as online tutorials, games etc. An Event in flash CS3 is the heart of interactivity. For example, if a user watches a streaming flash video, he or she might want to stop, or pause in-between. This can be achieved by pressing the left mouse button or a key on a keyboard. This reaction sends a message to the flash movie player to respond to the user’s action, which in turn provokes him or her to do some other tasks. These tasks (mouse clicks, button presses) are called events. Event handlers are used to detect events. They request a flash application to respond to different events. A professional flash web site design expert employs certain functions to create an event handler. One of these functions detects an event while another instructs flash to respond. For mouse events such as left click, double-click or mouse movement, the flash designer creates the MouseEvent class. He creates a function with a MouseEvent parameter to help flash detect and respond to a button click or a mouse over. There are different kinds of MouseEvent properties including Mouse_Move, Mouse_Up, Mouse_Over etc. Event handling is the key to interactivity in professional flash design. While ActionScript is the main programming language to construct event handlers, another important component in the process of creating interactivity is a sophisticated flash button. A flash designer can create many types of buttons including simple buttons, animated ones, invisible buttons and complex ones like pull-down button menu. In professional flash website design, the designer can create simple buttons with extended functionalities via ActionScript.

Creating Advanced Buttons and Event Handling in Flash CS3
Many websites owners have shown preferences for Flash contents in their pages. Flash elements make your pages a visual treat. Creating graphics and images in Flash forms a part of Flash development. The other part comprises creating advanced buttons and event handling. These are the features that make the site interactive by giving the users control over the graphics, images and animations. In Flash game development, these features are used to the maximum. Now, let’s take a brief look at how you go on creating these buttons and event handling in Flash CS3. For a further detailed step-by-step procedure, you may refer Flash tutorials which are available on the web. With Flash CS3, a Flash designer can define four keyframes of a button symbol which in turn define the look of the button and its response to the mouse pointer. These keyframes are Up, Down, Over, and Hit states. The Up state defines what the button will looks like when the mouse pointer is not over the button. The Down state defines what the button will look like when the mouse pointer is over the button with the mouse button pressed. The Over state shows what the button’s look is when the mouse pointer is over the button. Lastly, Hit state defines the hot area or the actual active area of the button. Invisible buttons are created when you leave empty keyframes in all states with the exception of the Hit state. Page design in Flash can also incorporate complex buttons such as the pull-down menu.Now, let’s find out what is event handling. Events are actions which users initiate such as keyboard presses, mouse movements, or button clicks. Flash listens to these events and responds to each event. This entire process is called event handling. You can create event listeners -- the function telling the Flash how to respond to events -- by creating a function and telling Flash where to put the listeners.
