Hey people. What is the best and easiest way to get a button to “stick” in its down state when clicked? This way it is apparent to the users what page they’re on. When another button is clicked it should, of course, turn off, with the new clicked-on button to stay on as well. Please don’t hesitate to be descriptive where to place AS and all that.

PS. Should the Down state have a 2-frame mc animation or something like that? Can’t think of a solution - I’m a preemie (less than newbie!)
