All symbols have their own timelines. Button symbols have a timeline that only contains 4 frames. each frame represents a different “button state.”
Button States
| State | Description |
| Up | The Up keyframe holds artwork that defines what the button looks like before the user’s mouse does anything with the button |
| Over | The Over keyframe is what the button looks like when the user positions the mouse over the Hit area of the button. This is also referred to as the rollover state of the button. |
| Down | The Down keyframe defines what the button looks like when it is clicked. This state is usually seen for only a split second, but it can be seen for longer periods of time if the user holds down the mouse. |
| Hit | The Hit keyframe of the button is always invisible to the user. It defines the area of the button that is reactive to the mouse. This is what makes the button clickable. |
