Ideas generation

I have decided to go with stick men for my short story because i didn't want to go into too much detail which would make the project a lot harder and longer.

1.)
Stick man is walking down a street, shopping for food and things for him at home. A man runs out of an ally way and points a gun at his head, asking for all the money he has etc. 1st stick man knocks the gun out of his hand and they have a small battle. Then the one with the gun grabs his bag and runs off down an ally way, the other stick man follows. They then meet head on in another ally way and have like a cowboy stand off, just without guns. The man who stole the bag gets scared and drops the bag and runs away. The owner of the bag then picks the bag up and says 'wimp' and carrys on as if nothing happend.

2.) Stick man is walking down a tunnel/ the underground/ ally way, and is kidnapped by a small group of people. he then wakes up in a small room attached to a chair and then gets plugged into something which makes him fall asleep. (like the machine used in the 'Matrix' films) He then appears in a never ending room with a man a few feet  away from him who then starts to attack him. He is beaten then wakes up in his bed as if he was dreaming, or was he?

I think to involve interactivity into this, before the stick men meet, I could put in a button to ither make them fight or not. Or when they get up to eachother. But in general I could put a button in to determin what happens in the end result.

Here is a storyboard of my rough idea. It has changed since my first idea. I'm now having a man walking down the street shopping and he gets attack and they have this face off. But they have some sort of powers. There is also buttons to alternate endings.

Feedback for animation:

All the feedback I got for my animation was really to finish doing all the final touches and get everything working, because some of my buttons aren't working properly and I need to put several stops in because my animation just carry's on when its finished. But, no one had anything bad to say about it.

At the moment my buttons work, but they still dont really look like buttons. I think I need to put some bevel on them then they might start to look better.

Here I am trying to figure how to go about doing my buttons. As you can see I have got some sort of button in the centre but they dont really look like buttons.

Here I am creating a title for the buttons in photoshop. Using the text tool then deleting the background layer so there is nothing bhind it. Then dragging it itno flash.
