Hi Guys,

I’m attempting to get MC’s to interact with each other so that when a dropdown menu is clicked others return to their original state. You can see an example of where I am upto here

[http://www.compressionartifacts.co.uk/index.php?id=18](http://www.compressionartifacts.co.uk/index.php?id=18)

So basically what I want to do is something similar to the following.

\*User clicks on button 1  
\*Flash checks states of buttons 2 and 3  
\*If buttons 2 and 3 are closed flash opens button 1  
\*If buttons 2 or 3 are open flash closes them and opens button 1.

The fla can be supplied if required but be warned I’m a designer not a coder so the AS might be impenetrable.

I hope someone can help.
