Well i was dtermined not to ask but after a late night into early morning of searching here it is.
What do you guys use to make web buttons?
I do not need anything fancy, just standard navigational buttons. I found one program that I "kinda" liked but it did not allow me to save it with the trial version so I threw it out. It was crystal buttons I think.
Anyways whatever y'all got that works - I am so close to paying someone to do this for me.
You make them with flash (swish). Heres some link to free ones that are already made.

The link to the how to just brings me to the banner for the host. I would love to learn how to make them on my own. (I usually pick up much faster than this)
Sorry try this

Great guide and I plan to learn it all very soon and that saves me asking again in a week. But for right now it is a little bit more than I need to do. I realize now that this must be incredibly easy and I am about to ruin all credibility I have on this board (whatever that may be)
All I am looking to do is either take this button http://www.aaa-buttons.com/av24zy/li...set20/pill.gif or make one similar and put my own text inside of it.
I would prefer to just make my own buttons, but if I can take others just as easy.
I have never made buttons before. I suggest trying swish, or another flash program.
if ur using dreamweaver it has a ready made selection of FLASH buttons
Using online websites for creating flash buttons is a bad idea. Using Fireworks MX 2004 and then importing it into Dreamweaver is both easy and incredibly good. You may wish to use Photoshop as well.
I know there a javascript that i used at one time where you use two images. When you highlight it it changes. Also Xara has a menu maker witch is pretty cool.
Shit - well did I ever waste alot of time tonite - I installed every other macromedia app looking for that. It was right in front of me, well I did get a couple that great link from shadow.Quote:

:lol: no worries ;)
Ok well I am having a new problem with buttons now and this getting to them to open in the correct frame. I know that normally to make a link open in a specific frame I would tye the following.
Button attribute here
However in dreamweaver all that it gives you for target inside the button creation is a drop down menu - top, parent,blank and one more can't remember what. surronding the button with above code does not work because the link in held inside the button itself right?
So how do I get these buttons to oen the document in the main window, instead of in the parent, or in a new window.
God I hope it is not right infront of me again.
http://photoshopgurus.info/intermediate.shtml has a good tut when using photoshop for web buttons
are u using frames, if so u need to change it to the fram name, eg _mainframe but if its just single pages leave it blank and it will keep it in the same window
