Ok, this might have been asked before, so if it has, just send me to that thread etc.

If not, my question is this: How do I keep a movieclip button to stay in it’s hit state after it has been pressed?

For example - Say I have a button that has white text on it, but when you click it, it turns black. Well when you go to that particular section, or click on that button, how do I keep the text black?

Thanks in advance!
