Changing Button Shapes

You can turn any text button into a shape (or image) button. Image buttons consist of
a text label and a shape thumbnail. You can add photos or movie clips to the
thumbnail portion of image buttons to add visual interest to your menus.

Image buttons on a menu can be all the same shape, or you can mix styles.

one at a time.
