To create a navigation bar you will use multiple objects configuring each one individually.
To create a horizontal navigation you can simply copy the button on the page and paste right next to it.
To create a vertical navigation press "Shift+Enter" to insert a line break and paste the button the button on the next line.
You can use tables for a more presize layout.
You can easlily re-use the same Flash Element thoughout your whole web site: either copy and paste or drag the Flash file from the Files panel in Dreamweaver directly on the page.
When fisrt_in_Row parameter is set to "Yes" the button will have the left corner. This setting would be used for first (the left most) button on the horizontal navigation bar.
Similarly when last_in_Row has this value it will display the right corner, which would be perfect for the last button on the horizontal navigation bar.
When both parameters are set to "Yes" the button will have both corners. You would apply this setting to every button on a vertical navigation bar.
To change the background color of the Flash Element use the Properties Inspector.
