I had written this out as an answer to a question and it took me forever so I thought I'll post it here.



Make sure you have a picture saved that's 88x31

1. click the icon that looks like a film strip and a wand at the top of the screen under the file,edit, view etc.
2. you'll see a box come up,click as defined here: and make it 88x31
3. make it opaque
4. press next on the next screen
5. make sure yes, repeat animation is checked and pick a time...I usually use 20/100ths of a second
6.click add image and look for your image

lets say you want the words on your button to be Link Me!! And you want two colors, white and red. Click the A tool and type Link Me!! in white letters. Then what you need to do is right click on the image and click duplicate selected. Click on one of the duplicates and continue duplicating until you have enough for all the words (in the example I used you'll need to duplicate it 8 times. go to the A tool again and type a red L, then go over the white L with the red L in the first frame, then a red i over the white i and so on...

Any questions PM me
