I'm new to Unreal Development.
In a nutshell, how do I create a button, install it in a basic game, and capture the button click event?

- Send of signals:
We can send messages from flash to UDK with the ActionScript command fscommand( "mycommand" )
For example, we want a button that permit us exit from the game
With ActionScript, we asign the function fscommand("exit") to the click button event
btn_exit.addEventListener( "click", this, "btn_exit_click" );
function btn_exit_click():Void
{
fscommand("exit");
}
- Receiving message:
From kismet we can receive the pulsation of the button, for this:
New event -> GFx Ui -> fscommand
Inside the properties, we have two that are necessary, Movie and FSCommand
On Movie we'll put the flash movie that we are using ( button with green arrow ) and in FSCommand we write the command that we are waiting for, in that case Exit
- Send of signals:
We can connect the exit to that we want to happen when the signal was sended from Flash.
With this example, we are created a "Console Command"
New Action -> Misc -> Console Command

The accepted answer is outdated. FScommands are deprecated and slow.
Try using scaleform CLIK and:
event bool WidgetInitialized(name WidgetName, name WidgetPath, GFxObject Widget)
{
// Determine which widget is being initialized and handle it accordingly
switch(Widgetname)
{
case 'btnStart':
// Save reference to the label that displays the message to the player
btnStart = GFxCLIKWidget(Widget);
btnStart.AddEventListener('CLIK_click', startGame);
break;
default:
// Pass on if not a widget we are looking for
return Super.WidgetInitialized(Widgetname, WidgetPath, Widget);
}
return false;
}
function startGame(EventData data)
{
// Only on left mouse button
if(data.mouseIndex == 0)
{
ConsoleCommand("open DM-DECK");
}
}
