1. In the behaviors panel, select a browser version 3 and above.
2. In the document window, select the object you want add the behavior to. Most likely this will be a link.
*note: If you are using a link that doesn't need to go anywhere, put in a "#"
symbol in the URL box, or the word "Javascript:;"
ex.
3. In the Behaviors Panel select the Control Shockwave or Flash action.
4. In the dialog box that follows, choose what you want to do to the movie, stop, start, rewind, etc. Click o.k.
5. In the Behaviors Panel select an event from the pull down (ex. onLoad, onClick, onMouseOver,etc.).
