Placing the button instances
The buttons need to be put on the Stage and given names in the Properties inspec-
tor so that ActionScript can identify them.
1 On the main Timeline, insert a new layer and rename it buttons.
2 Drag each of your buttons from the Library panel to the middle of the Stage,
placing them in a horizontal row. Don’t worry about their exact position
because you’ll align them nicely in the next few steps.
3 Select the first button, and in the Properties inspector, set the X value to 100.
4 Select the last button, and in the Properties inspector, set the X value to 680.
5 Select all four buttons. In the Align panel (Window > Align), deselect the Align
to stage option, click the Space Evenly Horizontally button, and then click the
Align Top Edge button.
All four buttons are now evenly distributed and aligned horizontally.
