Whats up everyone,

I am having a little trouble with making buttons using a movie clip… what i am doing is making 3 frames inside the movie clip and call upon each one using the different commands such as on rollover(which makes the rollover animation), on rollout(which returns the animation to its original state), and on release(which changes the color to make it active) , my problem is when i want it so when they user(s) click my movieclip button i want it to change to a different color which enables to know what they clicked and what page that they are on. but by using the on rollout command to make the on mouseover animation go away and back to normal it also makes the on release command return to the normal … any ideas on how to get this to work…? or another way?

please help me this is really pissing me off.

thanx,  
BRich
