So in Flash class, we had to learn how to make rollover buttons. Basically the text book went over something so dang simple as an arrow, that I wanted to spice it up.
Creating the second images were simple by erasing certain parts, using fill, and going over again with the mouse.
The text rollover buttons were so super easy by just using the 'fill' tool. Doing the animal buttons were more fun to do, and you can see I let myself get into the whole thing.
It really just started with the dog, but I had to create more...

If you want to create your own rollover buttons for a site, to use in a flash game, or just for fun. Here's a simple tutorial:
1. Open up Flash (I used MX 04).
2. Go to Insert > New Symbol
3. Type in whatever you want for the title, and click 'button' for the behavior. Then click on 'OK'.
4. Choose View > Grid > Show Grid
5. Draw whatever you like in the grid in the 'Up' keyframe by the registration point.
6. Press F6 to add a keyframe.
7. Delete the image in the 'Over' keyframe or edit the image by erasing bits and adding new parts.
8. Press F6 again. Delete the image now in the 'Down' keyframe. Go back to the 'Up' keyframe. Copy, go back to the 'Down' keyframe, and then select 'Paste in Place'.
9. Press F6 again and leave whatever is in the 'Hit' keyframe alone.
10. Go back to Scene on the main timeline. Then hit Ctrl+L/Cmd+L to open the Library. You can also go through 'View' and then click on 'Show library'.
11. Drag the button out of the Library onto the scene area.
12. Go to Control > Enable Simple Buttons.
13. Hooray! There's your working button.
