Flash plastic buttons
Author: theCaramella

Now I want to midify the size of the highlight. For this exercise I will need to see one of the buttons below. I turn on the pill shape layer's visibility again, by clicking the eye icon on it.

I want the highlight to be less wide and just about half the height of the button.
I switch to the Free Transform Tool , choose View> Hide Edges, and start editing the shape.
Finally I move it a bit down from the shape's top. (By hitting the down arrow once.)

When satisfied, I convert it to a movie clip symbol, named "highlight".

Finally I edited the over all transparency of the highlight, by choosing Alpha in the Color drop down menu (Properties panel). I used an alpha of 75%.

Here's mine, still with the dark background.
See it's got a bit more roundness to it now?


You can stop here, or, if you want a light background, you should have a shadow underneath your button, to indicate that the light shines through it.
