Clueless newbie looking for AS3 Guru

Hi!

I’m trying to create a simple map game for an upcoming world scout jamboree and I’m in need of some help. I think that my problem is pretty basic, and I’ll try to explain this as simple as possible;

I’ve created an array of three ‘buttons’. Only one button can be active at a time. I’d like to add a function that deactivates a button if I click it again. I’d also like to create a ‘controller button’ that closes all active buttons. I’ve followed an online tutorial and I’ll attach the source file and actionscript in this message and I’d be very grateful for assistance.
