+<chapter><title>Buttons</title>
+<p>
+Actionscript comes in handy when dealing with SWF Buttons.
+</p>
+<p>
+A button defines, in SWF context, an object sensitive to mouse movement,
+mouse buttons, and key presses.
+</p>
+<p>
+The following is a trivial example: Four objects which change their shape
+once the cursor is over it.
+<code lang="swfc">
+.flash name="button1.swf" fps=50
+
+.box box1 color=white fill=#336633 width=100 height=100 .box box2 color=white fill=#99cc99 width=150 height=150
+.button mybutton1
+    .show box1 as=shape x=50 y=50
+    .show box2 as=hover x=25 y=25
+.end
+
+.frame 0
+    .put b1=mybutton1
+    .put b2=mybutton1 x=200 red=+255
+    .put b3=mybutton1 y=200 green=+255
+    .put b4=mybutton1 x=200 y=200 blue=+255
+.end
+</code>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <c>.show</c> command (which can only be used inside <c>.button</c>) has a syntax
+very similar to <c>.put</c>. 
+For every shape a button uses, you can specify the position, color transform, scaling,
+rotation etc. just like with <c>.put</c>.
+</p>
+<p>
+The only <i>real</i> difference between those two commands is the <c>as</c> parameter:
+with that you tell the button when to display that specific shape.
+There are four allowed parameters to <c>as</c>:
+<ul>
+    <li><b>idle</b> The shape to display when the button is idle, that is, the
+                    mouse is somewhere else, and not over the button.
+    </li><li><b>hover</b> The shape to display if the mouse cursor is <i>inside</i> the button.
+                     What exactly is <i>"inside"</i> is defined by <b>area</b>:
+    </li><li><b>area</b> This shape is not displayed. It serves as bounding box (actually,
+                     bounding polygon) for the button. A button considers itself
+		     active (that is, the <c>hover</c> shape is active, not the <c>idle</c>
+		     shape) if the mouse is inside this area. Also, mouse button clicks
+		     have to be in this area for this button.
+    </li><li><b>pressed</b> The shape to display if the user clicks on the button. This shape
+                       is displayed as long as the mouse button is down.
+    </li>
+</ul>
+</p>

+    .font arial Arial.swf

+.button mybutton1
