Okay, i know how to code visited buttons. I know how I can make active buttons by making them go to an empty frame. I know there’s a way to code them so that it can be both active & visited. My question to you is how ? Here are some links in case my explanation did not make sense 😉 [color=#003366][http://www.2advanced.com/flashindex.htm](http://www.2advanced.com/flashindex.htm) ( check out the navigation )[/color] [color=#003366][http://www.prideprejudice.com](http://www.prideprejudice.com)[/color] [color=#003366][/color] [color=#003366]HELP !!![/color] ---

hmmm… sure seems to use the flash player on my web browser (pride and prejudice). anyhow, are you making a hybrid html/flash site or a site completely in flash? ---

pride and prejudice sure seems to be made using basic html to me. it’s all \ tags. try right-clicking on them. ---

What I want is for a button to show active when clicked. And for it to show as visited once another button has been click. Think of a photo gallery. When the user clicks on a button to load the picture, i want the button to change appareance and if the user clicks on it again ( while the picture is loaded ) for it not to load the same file. Now when the user clicks the button to view another picture, the picture that he saw before shows a different color ( for example ) so that he/she knows that picture has already been seen. I would get more examples of what I want, but Im at work ☹ Does that help ? ---

okay, i think me and cyberathlete are looking at different websites or something… at any rate, what i would do is make your buttons movie clips, put a button in them and when it’s clicked, go to and stop at a frame where the text/button is a different color. that’s how you’ll know you’ve clicked on it… this’ll work fine, assuming that your movieclip/nav buttton will only load again when a visitor returns to your site/.swf. the way to make it so you won’t reload a section you’ve already loaded is to use an ‘if’ statement to check and see if the section requested by the button is already loaded. on (release) { if (\_root.selection != “links”){put as code here to load the links movie; \_root.selection = “links”; }else if (\_root.selection == “links”){stop;} ---
