It’s a simple enough problem for most of you, here goes I have six buttons all white. I would like it so that when the home button is used, it stays grey to indicate that this is the page a person is looking at, same goes for all buttons as well. the button should of course go back to white when another button is activated. I’ve tried putting a grey movie clip with a stop action in it on the hit state but that doesn’t work, I pressume that some actionscript will be used? I can’t find a tutorial that addresses this issue. Thank you. ---

Thank you and that FLA that was available for download will certainly come in handy for future projects. you mention making movieclips instead of buttons. I’ll try it but a big problem here is that I have already go a lot of actionscript in the timeline instructing to make buttons inactive after first press. I’ll have a go Thank you. ---

Make a simple onrollover, goto frame with the over state, and on rollout goto frame with upl state. ---
