Is there a tutorial somewhere I could consult? Any help would be appreciated.
 
Invisible buttons are easy...

Step 1: Make a filled rectangle about 50 pixels by 100 pixels

Step 2: Select the rectangle(fill and stroke) by double clicking on the objects center or draw a selection square around the entire object.

Step 3: hit F8 (Insert/convert to Symbol) ... type a name...select "Button" and hit "OK"

Step 4: Right-Click on the new button and select edit

Step 5: You should see a dot in the "Up" frame indicating the object is on that frame.... drag the dot to the hit frame and go back to the main movie.

The button will be transluscent blue in flash but will be invisible in preview mode and after upload to the web.

You can do this with any object... simply make it into a button symbol then open the button symbol and drag it to the hit frame to where the other 3 frames are empty. Presto! It is invisible
