Hi all:

I’ve just created a buttonset that contains 9 buttons, all actionscripted. On mouseover a shape tween of a coloured box beneath the text slides from left to right out of obscurity and on mouse-up (after clicking) the font colour changes and the block colour remains behind the text. When this is repeated with another button the actionscript dictates that the previous button clicked plays the rest of the tween so the box tweens away out of sight and so on.

I first implemented this concept with frames where the button set had it’s own frame and targeted the \_MainFrame. However I’ve recently started to learn CSS without frames and each button targets \_self. The problem is when another page is loaded by the browser so does the buttonset. This means the button clicked on is no longer highlighted as the flash is reloaded.

Please, if anybody knows a way to get round this problem reply a.s.a.p.

Thank you in advance,  
Chris.
