hi

this is what i would like to do.

i have seven buttons which when clicked on open a box. when you click on the button again the box closes. i have movies for these animations and it works so far.  
the thing i cant get to work is this; say button 1 has been clicked on and then box 1 is open. now if box three is clicked on i want box 1 to close and then box three to open.  
i have tried several ways but cant work it out. im pretty new to flash and help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
