Button development

The button tutorials I found on the flash websites are way too complex for me but luckily I have the gift from the heavens which is Youtube. The 3D button tutorial worked very well and I am definitely keen on using it in my final application. Here is a picture of it:

By using the gradients for the colour scheme I was able to really look like light was being cast onto it and thereby rendering it very 3D like in appearance. When clicked I even got it to appear as if it was being pushed down by switching the gradient when it is pressed to the other side. This is shown in the second image:

The result of this is quite spectacular in my opinion because it gives things depth and really takes things to the next level.
