Maybe use screen shots instead of web cam shots you cant see? you obviously have a computer to do them with. and this really isnt a good way to make buttons, cs5 has awesome(and the previous cs's) built in button generator. and the buttons in this thing suck, there is a selectable option for text fields.
Insert -> new symbol -> name it -> type button -> ok

Seems like your "forward" and "back" buttons are lacking a bit of substance for a button-making tutorial. And the last two "back" buttons don't work.

For some reason the 'back' buttons in the last two frames were not working. I do not know why this happened. All 'back' buttons were copies of a general 'back' button in the library. I remade all the buttons and this fixed the bug.

My computer does not have the software to take screenshots. Hopefully highlighting relevant areas of the Quickcam shots helped.

For some reason the hit areas on the original, “code snippets” made buttons only included a small hit area. When I remade the buttons using a longer method this issue was resolved. The “code snippets” method is a more straight-forward way but button aspects like hit area are automatically generated.

The actual creation of a functional button occurs by selecting the rectangle → code snippets → pressing okay.
