Flashing buttons?

1

Can someone please show me how to make buttons like this:

Notice how once you click on a button, it goes to that page, plus the button stays ‘on’ and sort of flashes as well?

And how do you make it so that once you’re on that page, the button actions disables, meaning you cant click on it again while you’re on that page so the current page wont reload again?

Hope that made sense…

Please help! Thanks in advance!:love:

I’m going to bed soon so I won’t be able to explain much of this but I put together a simple sample FLA file that does the things you wanted. Just study it, it’s pretty straight forward so I’m sure you’ll get it. =)

To make a buton animate like that, you just need a movie clip of the animation placed in the Over state of the button symbol. In this case, that movie clip contains the button flashing brighter.

There’s a tutorial about this here : Tutorial and although it’s for Flash 5, the same principle applies for MX.
