Hi! All,\r\rI’ve a question and think several days still can’t solve it. Appreciate if somebody can help me.\r\rThere are about 20 buttons and every button has it’s name. I want to click buttonA and buttonA\_name change color to red. When I click another button, say buttonF, buttonF\_name change color to red and the buttonA\_name change color back to black.\r\rI set button\_name a MC with two layers, upper layer is black color and lower layer is red color. When I click a button I fade the upper layer and we see the color red for the button\_name. When I click another button I need to fade back the button I just clicked. \r\rIt will be okay if there are just a few buttons. It might be not a good idea for many buttons because I have to set every button something like that :\r\ron (realeas){\r buttonA.buttonA\_black.\_fade=0;\r buttonB.buttonB\_black.\_fade=1;\r buttonC.buttonC\_black.\_fade=1;\r .\r .\r .\r}\r\rWhat I want is the button\_name a little bit intelligent. For example, when I click btutonA, I set a variable m to 1, and then the buttonA\_name change color to red and change back to black if m\<\>1. I tried to put the script in the button\_name MC or other place but all not working. Appreciate your help…\r\rJames\r\r\r\r
