Flash Animation 24: Flash for Web Design: Creating a Thumbnail Gallery

Next make a button symbol (F8) out of each thumbnail image. You don't have to create rollovers of these if you don't want to, or even edit the states; some find it clever to make a negative image or a glow as a rollover, but I prefer to leave mine as they are and just make them into buttons so that I can add the appropriate Actionscripts to open a URL (website address).
