This forum has been such a huge help - I appreciate everyone.

Here is an interesting question:

I have a “Closed Caption” button which is by default on or white,  
I have used the following actionscript to togle the movie clip that contains the closed captioning on and off as the user clicks the button:

on (release) {  
if (\_level1.cc.\_visible == true) {  
\_level1.cc.\_visible = false;  
} else if (\_level1.cc.\_visible == false ) {  
\_level1.cc.\_visible = true;  
}  
}

My QUESTION is I need the button color to also change from its white (on condition) to its grey (off condition) as the user clicks it similiar to the above code.  
I just cant get the coding right or not sure how to do that.

As always your help is greatly appreciated!!

on (release) {  
if (\_level1.cc.\_visible == true) {  
\_level1.cc.\_visible = false;  
} else if (\_level1.cc.\_visible == false ) {  
\_level1.cc.\_visible = true;  
}  
}  
on (release) {  
if (myColor = 0xFFFFFF) {  
myColor = new Color(closed);  
myColor.setRGB(0x999999);  
} else if (myColor = 0x999999) {  
myColor = new Color(closed);  
myColor.setRGB(0xFFFFFF);  
}  
}

Here is my code: It toggles the Closed Captioning fine and will change the color from white to grey with the first click and stays grey.  
After when clicked a second time the closed captioning toggles again but the button remains grey and will not return to the white color???
