Hi again!  
I’d like to know if there is a way to do the following:  
have a movieclip to act as a button, that is:  
\> have an “over” and “out” states but at the same time have another frame that is used to have an “active” state when clicked.

The problem is the following: since there is a rollOut state defined, when clicked the mc jumps to the active state (frame) but returns to the out state when cursor moved out of it of course…so…how do you have a button with, over, out and active states?

The _cheapest_ way… 😛

**PS.** You don’t like that way? You could modify senocular’s code found here: [http://proto.layer51.com/d.aspx?f=663](http://proto.layer51.com/d.aspx?f=663).

I’m not defining anything, it’s a simple Button in the first frame of the MovieClip. 😉

That’s why I said it was the cheapest way. 😛
