1 Cool Button Tool Features include:
  • Save Buttons as either Flash files or Java applets
    The only button maker that gives you the choice. Different situations require different approaches - sometimes Java applets are smaller, faster and more effective, on other occasions you might prefer the polish and reliability of a Flash file. This is particularly useful with the arrival of Windows XP, which currently will not provide inbuilt support for Java.
  • WYSIWYG Design, Layout and Preview
    Just create buttons and arrange them as easy as '1-2-3' or use the instant preview to review animation moves - it means that even the total beginner can create fully interactive buttons in minutes.
  • Button Animation
    You can move, scale and transform buttons without having to create an animated gif... plus you can trigger these animations from a variety of sources - button clicks, mouse-overs and many other events.
  • Full Sound Support
    1CBT supports WAV and AU files in applets and MP3 in Flash files.
  • Use ANY image or artwork for your Buttons
    You can use any JPEG or GIF image for your buttons or backgrounds - make your gif button images transparent with one click.
  • Multiple Button States and Types
    Each button can have a different image, colour, font, text label, sound, action or format in any of its three states - up, mouse-over or down position. Buttons can be either push, checkbox or tick-box style buttons.
  • Multiple Action Triggers
    Objects and buttons can be affected by many different action triggers - on Load, Button entry (mouse-over), Button leave, Button Down, Mouse Up, Button Check and Button un-Check - this can create a huge array of possibilities when designing your navigation or button scheme.
  • Advanced Button Text Control
    Change any button text label on any event, 'on the fly'. You can even restore text to its original settings using one simple command.
  • JavaScript interface
    For more advanced users, a JavaScript interface can change the various states of buttons within the Flash file or Java applet giving power-users the edge in creating complex navigation schemes.
