Hi

I’ve implemented the script below to control some button movies - and it works fine.

But I’d like the script to instruct the button to stay down once clicked - and then for it to revert to the up state (frame 1) when another button is clicked.

So the current page is always indicated by a down state (frame 4).

Any ideas on how the script can be adjusted to achieve this?

Thanx

Dirk

total = 7;//  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
for (var i = 1; i\<=total; i++) {  
if (this[“button”+i].\_currentframe != 7) {  
if (this[“button”+i].hitTest(\_xmouse, \_ymouse, false)) {  
this[“button”+i].gotoAndStop(4); //  
} else {  
this[“button”+i].gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
}  
}  
};  
for (var i = 1; i\<=total; i++) {  
this[“button”+i].onPress = function() {  
this.gotoAndStop(4); //  
};  
}
