Hi,

I have an image that I want to make into a button/movie clip that starts out color then fades into black and white (that has text on top when it fades into black and white) when its clicked, and _stays_ that way…how can I achieve this?

An example: [http://afterglow-studio.com/animatio…irg/index.html](http://afterglow-studio.com/animation/sites/irg/index.html)  
His is reversed from B&W to color, and stays in color after it clicks. I want something like that but B&W when its clicked instead (with text on top)

Any ideas? :ponder:
