Step 1:
Open Flash. Open a new Flash Document. On the stage of Frame 1, of your timeline draw 2 shapes. A circle and a square.

Step 2:
Highlight the circle and convert it to a button.
To do so:
A) Select the circle, right click on it > Convert to Symbol, name
it "circle_btn" and make sure you select "Button".
or
cool.gif Select the circle, Modify > Convert to Symbol, name
it "circle_btn" and make sure you select "Button".

Repeat this step for the square naming it "square_btn"

Step 3:
Click on Frame 2 of your timeline and press "F7" to insert a Blank Keyframe, or click Insert > Timeline > Blank Keyframe. Then, on the stage of Frame 2, draw a circle.

Step 4:
Click on Frame 3 of your timeline and press "F7" to insert a Blank Keyframe, or click Insert > Timeline > Blank Keyframe. Then, on the stage of Frame 3, draw a square.

Step 5:
Now go to Frame 1, and we'll add the simple code so that when you click on the circle, it will bring us to frame 2.
Tip: Make sure that you are entering the code onto the "circle_btn" and not the frame. To do so: Click on a blank spot on the stage, then select your circle. Now open the "Actions" panel and type

CODE
on(release){
      gotoAndStop(2);
      }


Step 6:
Click on frame 3 and in the properties tab where it says "<Frame Label>" type "squarepage". Then go to frame 1 and put this code in the actions panel of your square button

CODE
on(release){
    gotoAndStop("squarepage");
}



YOUR DONE
That should do it, Press "Ctrl + Enter" to test it.

Also: I know it could have been explained much shorter, I just like to be thorough.
