i am designing a site in a way that i call use actionscript to load movie clips onto the stage in levels, but i am having tons of trouble with the buttons.

I want the buttons to look different (my over state) when you are on a particular page eg: if you are on the contact us page, the contact button will be purple. i cant seem to be able to do this. i saw a file that had this done, but i can not figure it out. here is the code for the button i saw (this is not my code):

on (release) {  
if (\_root.link\<\>num) {  
\_root[“item”+\_root.link].s\_menu.gotoAndPlay(“s2”);  
\_root[“item”+\_root.link].gotoAndPlay(“s2”);  
for(j=1;j\<6;j++){  
\_root.ykoord[j]=\_root.K[j];  
}  
\_root.link = num;  
for(j=num+1;j\<6;j++){  
\_root.ykoord[j]=\_root.K[j]+b.\_height;  
}  
s\_menu.gotoAndPlay(“s1”);  
getURL(“index-1.html”);

```
}

```
