| Button | symbol that creates an interactive button that responds to mouse clicks, rollovers, or other actions; contain four frames; each frame represents a different state: Up, Over, Down, and Hit - these states determine how a button visually behaves when the mou |
| UP button state | the appearance of the button when the user is not interacting with it |
