Add and configure components

Components are drag-and-drop elements that you use to create a user interface almost instantly. You will use the Button component to create the Information button.

For more information about components, see Using Components Help.

The Flash built-in components are displayed in the Components panel (Window > Development Panels > Components).

You will add a Button component to create the Information button.

1. Click the Selection tool in the toolbar.
2. From the Components panel, drag the Button component onto the Stage, as shown below.

   

3. On the Stage, select the button that you just added and configure it using the Parameters tab of the Property inspector:
   • In the Instance name text box, type info.
   • In the Label text box, type Information. As you type, the name of the button on the Stage changes from Button to Information.
